high FPS sickness..

[trueffej]

I know this sounds really dumb and alot of you will probably kill me for this, but i'm not digging high FPS. You see i've been playing with consoles all my life (all games i've played are 30fps) until recently i decided to build a PC with good CPU GPU MOBO and high RAM.

The thing is I'm probably getting about 100+ FPS and it gives me motion sickness. You're probably thinking, Maybe this is just me whining or bragging but this is serious. I can't play for over an hour because i have to get away from my monitor because i wanted to puke. And the sickness lasts for about 30mins. I'm very prone to sea sickness so I'm not surprised. And today i lost my appetite. Serious case of motion sickness guys.

Is anybody experiencing this?? Did you get used to it?

My real question, this is so stupid, But is there i way to get it to 30fps without sacrificing the good textures, i mean everything at ultra but low FPS. This is stupid, and sad, because i've spent alot on this PC it made me broke.

I'm not too sure, but is there a way to clock your FPS in game or on another program?

what graphics card are you using

Heres your answer http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2340375/lock-games-fps.html

Yes you can lock it to 30 fps. If you have an Nvidia card you can set V sync in 3D settings to adaptive half refresh rate. AMD cards will have a similar solution too. If you have a 144Hz monitor you will have to turn down the refresh rate of your monitor else adaptive V-Sync will lock it to 72fps.

Alternative issue:
Field of View motion sickness.

Depending on the game you are playing you can change this.
If you have a large monitor you will (possibly) just have gone from having the entire view in front of you (couch to tv = 2m?) to having quite a bit of action in your paripherals (chair to monitor = 40cm?).
That means the FoV that is right for one will be quite disorienting for the other.

Odd, considering your monitor is displaying 60 frames per second regardless of the media your using.
