I set my FPS to the highest setting possible (120FPS) and played in the PC lobbies with a forum member the other night for a few hours.Here were my thoughts.. I was not struggling by any means. It lead to me wonder whether or not PC players have a point on the aim assist being to strong for console players. There were times in which I was thinking this is just too easy. Now it might have been a streak of good luck on my part. But it also might have been the aim assist. I definitely did not feel like I was at a disadvantage any point in the game, even in the mid-long range. But in CQC I was absolutely dominate unless I got snuck up on or double teamed. I'd be curious to know if anyone else has had similar results or thoughts? If a console player can get high FPS (taking away a PC advantage) + aim assist it might lead to unfair environment for the PC players. But again my small sampling might have just been luck. Just be respectful on the topic and make your points, I know there is quite a bit of passion on this topic already.

@Koochi-Q As far as i can tell only one game is out that supports 120fps on console. Fortnite. Puke worthy right?

@E9ine_AC Maybe for BRs but there’s other games that do 120 fps like Devil May Cry V, Ori and the Will of the Wisp, gears 5... well lemme just drop this link (above ones I knew except gears, forgotten that one but there’s quite a few already): https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.windowscentral.com/list-xbox-series-x-and-s-games-120-fps-support%3Famp

@Koochi-Q But that will be just fake FPS due to the Gsync I believe, so wouldn't that cause ghosting as the console will generate repeated frames to fill the gaps becuase you asked for 120 but the game is giving only 60

@maximas1986 Either I’m confusing something or we’re talking about 2 different things.Lets say Apex had uncapped framerate on all platforms (it doesn’t on console), and Darth had a 120Hz tv and the new Series S/X. Then it wouldn’t matter if the game was optimized for 120 fps as the console, his tv and the game would allow 120 frames to be reached if the settings were right.If he doesn’t have a 120Hz tv, he wont experience 120 fps on the visual end cause his tv doesn’t support it.If he doesn’t have the series S/X but plain old OG Xbox One, he wont have 120 fps cause his console doesn’t support it.The game doesn’t feature uncapped frames, so no matter what hardware, he doesn’t get ‘true’ 120 fps.I only know a lil about Gsync and freesync but they only operate at higher output if all the above mentioned things support it right?

@Koochi-Qyes am aware that the tv and console should be 120 compatible This is what am talking about mate , 'true' frames , if the game is not outputting more than 60 FPS but his tv and console are working together (G-sync) to give him the 120 frames he asked for then he will get fake frames to shoot at 🙂

Anyone run their console at 120FPS and play in PC lobbies?

@DarthValtrex Apex doesn’t support 120 fps on console yet right?

@maximas1986 You can, with Series S/X put output to 120 fps, but if your tv or game doesn’t support it, nothing should happen unless the game, even if it’s not optimized, is uncapped and can reach the 120, if your tv or minitor allows for that framerate of course.

@DarthValtrex Your console doesnt do 120 fps on this game. You had a decent session.

As for will console players having an advantage with 120 fps. Up close yeah sure they will. Mid range and sniping it wont matter. But more frames dont mean you can adadadadadadad crazy time.

There is a reason most pros play MnK and it isnt because they dont want to get aim assist due to some moral high ground.

@hayhor You're right Apex does not hit 120FPS (yet) I was in the 60's. It might be luck.. Just trying to make sure PC players don't have a legit complaint.
