I don't know if there's a catch-all statement that can be said to describe the difference between "true" gamers and casuals. In general, what I consider a casual is someone who doesn't tune in to the gaming scene, and mostly plays games when they are trendy to be played. Someone who doesn't know what games are coming out in the future, but rather learns about games by seeing them on store shelves, in advertisements, or from friends.

I certainly don't think frame rate has anything to do with it, and the opinion on frame rate here seem to be the opposite of what a typical person would expect. Wouldn't the person who is knowledgeable about frame rate be the person who is more into gaming culture, and thus, a "true" gamer?
