Do you prefer Performance mode or Quality mode? (pawb.social)

This is more for my console friends out there; maybe even Playstation specific because I haven't so much as touched an Xbox since the 360.

Do you prefer Performance Mode or Quality Mode? I'm really curious to know if anyone even uses Quality Mode. Whatever you use, what kinds of games are you usually playing, and why do you prefer the mode you prefer?

I am 100โ„… Performance Mode, personally. The only thing I could really play in Quality Mode without being bothered by the low FPS is like Civilization or a card game. If I have to actually move a character around, I can not stand for less than 60fps. I will happily sacrifice everything that makes a game look good to make it run smooth as butter. But I do tend to like action games and especially PVP. Every millisecond matters.

Personally, I use my PS5 for 3D games that look pretty and need the most power, so I play most games on Quality mode, like FFVII Remake and Rebirth, even if it drops the FPS to 30.

30fps feels cinematic to me, which I often prefer in story-driven RPGs.
