I'm not exactly new to PC gaming, but I've never had a particularly high end PC capable of maxing out anything modern, that is still the case. However, after discovering that many of my Steam games actually have built in controller support, I was wondering if I should sacrifice 60fps and high mouse precision in favor of better graphics in games locked at 30fps with a controller? Im currently running Intel HD graphics, but I can still run games decently, like Fallout 3 GOTY at 1280x720 at mostly medium settings, some high, some low, and I usually never go below 30fps outdoors, and this is with plenty of mods installed as well. However, with Fallout, I notice that if I go below 60fos (only outdoors for some reason) I get massive mouse
lag. This is nly a problem because of the high precision of a mouse, whereas controllers use accelerated motion, which makes the input lag practically non existent. Or something like Borderlands, I pretty much have to play it at 640x480 with almost all settings off or low to maintain 60fps, is it worth it when I could just lock it at 30, bring up to 1280x720 and max out nearly everything and play it at a solid 30fps with a controller? Lemme know what you think!
