Topic: 30 FPS vs. 60 FPS

Just a simple would-you-rather question. Would you rather have a 3DS game running at 30 FPS WITH 3D or 60 FPS with 3D DISABLED and why? Also, does 3D matter to you? Do you care whether or not a game runs at 60 frames?

30 FPS with 3D enabled. They both matter, but I want 3D for sure, and 30 FPS is perfectly fine. It's when it dips below 30 FPS that it starts to be problematic.

I'd rather have 60 first person shooters than 30. What dummy question.

Depends on the game I'm playing. Frame rate isn't such a big deal for some genres.

framerate I don't care so much about, but I turn 3D off no matter what. I see no point in it.

I couldn't agree more WaveyGravy!

Depends on the genre really.

If it's a fighter or first person shooter, I'd go with no 3D and 60fps. However, platformer/adventure(most other genres) I'd go with 3D effect running at 30 frames.

60 FPS w/o 3D. I never use the 3D anyway.

Congrats for having the most useless "inb4" post I've ever seen!

On topic, I'd rather take the 3D as others have said. 3D breaths so much life into the game, I never turn it off.

Just get it right. 15 FPS w/ 3D and 2D? Heck no. 60 FPS w/ 3D off, and 30 w/ 3D on, when toggling it? Then yes.
EDIT: Or add anti-aliasing in 2D w/ 40 FPS.

Word. 3D rocks. It's one of the main reasons why 3DS is so much better than that vita crap lol.

I'd rather have my character's assets jiggle in 3D than have the jiggling be silky smooth.

Can't argue with that.

But really it depends on the game, in DOA I switch between them in single player but in multi I stick with 60fps which is why the fact Tekken 3D turns 3D off in multi doesn't bother me(although the fact the title is a misnomer kinda does:P).

If the 3D adds something fairly noticeable to improve the game, 30 FPS w/ 3D. If not, 60 FPS w/o 3D.

I don't see the difference between 30FPS and 60FPS.

I remember Ono saying having 3D on in SSFIV drops framerate down to 30.. But that never hindered anything for me because I never felt the difference in gameplay.

I think one game that stood out to me is Diddy Kong Racing DS and Mario Kart DS- the former is 30 frames and the latter is 60 frames. But again, it never bothered me..

i dont see such a big difference between 30 fps and 60 fps so i wanna see games with 3D in 30fps rather than no 3D but 60fps

Unless there's a side-by-side comparison, I can't tell the difference between 30 and 60 FPS, so I obviously prefer 3D at 30 FPS.

60 FPS. I play in 2D most of the time to conserve battery life. Though I don't really see the difference between 30 FPS and 60 FPS.

I'd like 60FPS and 3D, like Mario Kart 7.

But if I had to choose I'd pick 30FPS and 3D. But that's only in the case of portable games, 30 Vs. 60 is a lot less noticeable on such a small screen than it is on a actual HD tv. Depends a lot on the game in question too of course.

I don't really care. I would rather play more detailed games on a PC or xbox. From my point of view, the 3ds is better off with "cartoon"(Not meant to look realistic) type of game. So 30 FPS is perfectly fine for me.(I find it uncomfortable playing resident evil revelations and metal gear solid on my 3DS) Of course I would wan't 60FPS if it is a "realistic".
