The reason why we did not set the FPS cap at 120, is that if you are not near that mark during the gameplay, you may feel laggy. Mostly the game will feel slow and sluggish if you set the cap high, and do not manage to go near that mark. Hence it was ideal for us to set it to 60FPS. You can turn down the high settings to Low and turn off the lighting effects to get more juice out of your system. But as we found out, the above settings were the sweet spot for us.
