Fov

[Thomas Svensson]

Hello! I have a question about fov in the calculator. When i convert from overwatch to another game and the fov differs, should i correct the fov in the new game to match actual HFOV like in the example below? Thank you for the great job on this site! 

Overwatch
Config FOV:

Field of View 103

Actual VFOV:

70.53 degrees

Actual HFOV:

103 degrees

 

Battlefield 1

Config FOV:

GstRender.FieldOfViewVertical 103

Actual VFOV:

103 degrees

Actual HFOV:

131.79 degrees

 

Or 

 

Battlefield 1

Config FOV:

GstRender.FieldOfViewVertical 70

Actual VFOV:

70 degrees

Actual HFOV:

102.45 degrees

As long as the game supports it, you should make the Actual HFOV identical. So for BF 1 that means setting the FOV to 70.53.

Thank you!

I read about Overwatch's FOV being diagonal, not horizonal.

So vertical FOV 70.53 would be wrong.

dFOV 103 should be hFOV 95.23 and vFOV 63.295 on resolution 1920*1080 (and 27 inch monitor) if I calculated correctly.

Can anyone confirm that?

Hipfire FOV is horizontal for AR over 16:9. For AR below 16:9 it scales to the configured FOV locked to 16:9.

Scope and aim FOV is vertical, but it is locked to a set FOV regardless of configured  FOV. The calculator accounts for all this
