@seriousasmilk17 Quick question: What do you consider "playable framerates"? Did the game run above 30fps with some slight drops to 20ish FPS or were there some serious drops to like single digit frames?
12 fps is playable, not good, but playable. At 12 fps you can still perceive motion, if you try, but your inputs will feel lagged.
For most people, a shooter 20 fps needs to make it feel "okay", 30 is needed to play as intended, and 60 fps feels very smooth.
So, in a perfect world, your goal should be to get the minimum frame rate to 30 and the average frame rate just above 60.
Improving the frame rate over 60 doesn't improve the visuals so much as reduce the latency between your mouse input and the screen.
