I just recently purchased bf4 for PC and discovered this FOV option.
What is the optimal setting for this? Is it mainly preference?
Mainly personal preference. The “correct” value depends on your monitor size and how far you sit from your monitor.
30", 2560x1600, about 1.5 feet from my screen, I use 95.
90 at 16:10
i use 90 because i find myself shooting a long distance most of the time anyway.
95
I have a 24" monitor that I’m pretty sure is running 16:9…should I try 90?
110
A food and a half from 30 inches?
Watch your eyes man…
Sounds about right. In general, PC favors around an 85-95 FoV.
Haha, it’s on purpose. It makes games feel movie-like because of how big the screen is.
Although I just measured more precisely, and it’s more like 2 feet from my actual eyes, 1.5 from the edge of my desk.
I’ve got a 32inch 3 feet away, Everything is so immerse and crystal clear and have mine at around 100 I think, I’m tempted to make it much smaller though because the bigger your FOV the more zoomed out everything is.. It would really help with aiming but I think there is a greater advantage in peripheral vision
