Frame rate is one of the most ignored parts of sensitivity. The same slider value feels different at 60, 90 and 120 FPS, because the game draws your swipe in more, smaller steps at a higher frame rate. Here is how much the numbers really change, using one phone so nothing else differs: the realme GT6 (China, 8 Gen 3), which can run PUBG at up to 120 FPS.
Same phone, three frame rates (gyro Always On)
| Setting | 60 FPS (Extreme) | 90 FPS (Extreme+) | 120 FPS (Ultra Extreme) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red Dot camera | 52 | 54 | 55 |
| Red Dot ADS | 49 | 51 | 52 |
| 3x ADS | 25 | 26 | 26 |
| 3x ADS gyro | 227 | 231 | 235 |
| 6x ADS gyro | 113 | 116 | 117 |
The change is small, a few percent, but it is enough to turn a laser spray into one that climbs. Touch sliders (camera and ADS) react more to frame rate than gyro does.
Your screen can cap the frame rate
A 60 Hz screen only shows 60 frames, even if the game is set to 90 or 120. The phone still works harder, but you aim at what you see. That is why a 60 Hz phone like the iPhone 16 is treated as a 60 FPS phone.
Which frame rate should you pick?
- Pick the highest frame rate your phone holds without dropping frames in a full match, not just in the lobby.
- If your phone gets hot and stutters after 10 minutes, one step lower with steady frames beats a high frame rate that keeps dipping.
- Whatever you choose, use the values made for that frame rate. On every phone page the frame rate buttons switch the numbers.
Changed your frame rate? Re-test
After switching frame rates, run a quick spray test on Red Dot and 3x. On your phone's page, "Fine-tune after testing" adjusts the right sliders in smaller and smaller steps.
FAQ
Does higher FPS mean I need higher sensitivity?
In PUBG Mobile, slightly. At 120 FPS you can hold a few percent faster camera and ADS than at 60 FPS. Free Fire is the other way around: low frame rates need a bit more sensitivity.
Where do I change the frame rate in PUBG?
Settings → Graphics → Frame Rate. The highest options only appear with lighter graphics, so set Graphics to Smooth first.
