When you're playing a game and the framerate drops, the game is still trying to run at the previous framerate but it can't and THAT'S why you see a big difference. It lags, at least to SOME degree. The only way you can properly tell is to (1) use hardware that can assuredly handle 60FPS in the game you want to test with, then (2) run it with the framerate locked at 60 FPS and at 30 FPS. Even better if you can run both simultaneously, though you'd best do that with multiple machines. Try seeing a difference THEN. If you sincerely can, then I'll give it to you. But I've tested this with people - and not told them which machine was which - and they could only tell me which was which about 70% of the time (and that's including lucky guesses since it was only 50/50). It's not as apparent as many people make it with most games. |
maybe no lucky guesses and just the right feeling because they saw it in any way? maybe the other 30% are just unlucky people who aren't able to see the difference? with how many people did you do this?
it's funny there was a "test" of universities and they asked students some questions for different categories. in one category my university was very bad but in reality my university is very good in exactly this.
our professor told this to us and we all couldn't believe that the university was so bad in this category. he called the magazine and asked how many students got asked for the result and they told him that they asked TWO students haha
