Your FOV Of Choice?

Gaming
#1

Hi all,

I know this is going to be dependent on many factors…

What Field Of View do you find most comfortable/suitable. and if you can change it, what do you change it to?

Me…:

If I have the option to adjust my FOV, it’s usually between 95-100, this being on my 24" inch LED monitor, sitting around ±60cm away from the screen.

In Fallout 4, I change it to:
FOV 100 95, in the console (`) command. Weapon’s size on screen is smaller, and more on the weapon is shown. The Pip Boy’s text is a little small, but it’s a small price to pay.

I normally try to keep it at its default settings. I have in the past changed it if it’s too narrow though. Not sure on the actual values.

Console gamers ain’t got the luxury for FOV settings, so I have no preference at all. I’ve only ever felt I needed to change the FOV in one game on PC as well.

#4

I always aim for 90 and ‘mod’ all my games on PC to have this fov. even the 3rd person games.
I wish they could sort it out on consoles. It’s like simulated peripheral vision.

Does console POV really have that big an impact? On PC I can understand, as you are sitting close to the screen. But with consoles I’m sitting more than 2m from my TV, so the POV doesn’t have the same impact as with PC.

I think I’ve changed it in a few games only. Don’t really fiddle too much actually.

#7

My PC and PS3 are connected to the same 24" inch monitor, so where I can alter the FOV, I do so.

#8

95 or as close as can be. some games dont let you go higher than like 80 or something.

#9

helps with simulator sickness so if I can I put it to about 85 depending on the game

#10

I tend to find 90 being quite nice, but only if the game is looking a bit strange, i normally never change it from the get-go.

#11

When console games allow for it, I generally aim for around 90, anything higher looks too warped.

#12

I feel it does because i like to have space and see what’s on the right hand side of my gun.

It doesn’t bother me too much though but if I could change it I would. I just finished Modern Warefare 3 on the Wii and enjoyed it thoroughly.
