I want an immersive experience so was wondering with an FOV slider, what are the best settings for games on High End PC's? This is for normal conventional setups like a Television or Monitor... not Ultrawide.

FOV really has a negligible effect on your performance for the computer. FOV is highly subjective but I will say the higher you go the more "fish eye lens" it becomes. For immersion you typically can stick to default settings or maybe go a bit higher but every game is different. For me? I will go higher for sure on competitive FPS since you get an advantage from seeing more with a higher FOV. However, campaign typically retains the original value unless off looking(like RE Village) where a higher FOV is almost required.

Personally, I like 90 and 103. 90 gives you plenty FOV without making enemies look too small, so I prefer this for Battle Royales. I like 103 for games like Halo, Overwatch, Call of Duty MP, where there aren't that big draw distances to make enemies super small, so they are still big enough to focus and aim at with the wider FOV.

Hope that helps.

It depends on your monitor's size, resolution, aspect ratio and your distance to the monitor. Some games adjust via vertical FOV, others via horizontal FOV. There's no "go to" setting until you get used to your own setup and know what you want.

You'll get more of an immersive experience from an ultrawide monitor than from widening FOV.

Do curved or ultrawide curved monitors or TVs make the Fisheye less evident?

FPS:
Single player story: Standard or Narrow field of view for immersion
Multiplayer portion: Widest field of view possible for competitiveness.

3rd Person: Same as above.

FOV setting must be depended on sitting distance from display and it's size. If FOV is too high you will see a fish-eye effect when panning a camera. If it's too low it looks like a picturr is zommed in (binocular effect)

I always play on 100 for first person, I can't play anything below.

360 for competitive games. Play like a lizard.

99% of the time i prefer what the developers chose.

I think flies see in 360 view.

100 (give or take a few) for FPS games. You don't really need any for 3rd person tbh.
