Whats with everyone talking about eyes and FPS? You don't see in frames! The human eye works in fluid, constant vision.

 

P.S. I play Quake 3 Arena and Quake II at 120+ FPS and it looks great especially the insanely high run speed in those games (especially Quake 3).

Because scientists have found that our vision is the equivilent of around 60fps, thats why when you spin in circles things begin to blur, because your eye and brain cant capture the light fast enough to keep it clear and non blurred.

 But your eye isn't actually capturing frames, its still completely different.  Your eye is getting the light photons as they come which is why if you spin around it makes everything blurry but if you are looking straight forward your getting constant image.
