I've never needed high frame rates. What is more important is consistent frame rate. I'd rather have a consistent 30 than a range of 40-60.

Consistency is nice for all games, but some just don't play well at low frame rates.

I struggled to get into Dark Souls, but after installing DSfix the effect was transformative and I was able to read the game a lot better.

Same here. I went through applying a 60 fps patch for dark souls 1 (cause I do prefer it) and once I hit a listed bug of getting flung off a ladder I unapplied that shit immediately. It's not worth it.

Just so people understand, there are bugs that simply make you die because 60fps and ladder don't agree with each other.

I just play it at 30 because of this.
