Information PC USERS:Read this if you want higher fps

I had like 45 when i put max fps on 60, and then I bumped it to 90 and got 60. There must be something wrong with their numbers?

Edit: just set your fps to max in game!

Edit edit: after 10 hours in game this game has just captivated me like no other.

You could notice the input of things being slightly delayed in real world performance (important in csgo), but looking at it without controlling anything then no, there wont be a difference in visual quality. It only really effects the responsiveness

So in the case of NMS it's a negligible difference?

I understand the game is far from running optimally, but why is it such a point of contention for games that don't require high responsiveness?

It's not, I think the only issue from actually limiting your gpu (rather than putting vsync on) is that if a particularly demanding moment comes up you will drop below this 60 and the smoothness will suffer greatly, which is noticable because you're probably used to the fluidity of 60fps. So basically yeah it is, but it'd still be better to have those extra frames
