A noticeable framerate drop is something which completely ruins the immersion in a game for me.
Im not talking about the stupid framerate drops which people only notice from digital foundry, where its made out 2fps drop in a scene for a game is going to cause game breaking problems.
framerate drops from like 30 to 20 to from 60 to 40 are extremely horrible. Its on a similar scale, for me, as when audio is out of sync in a film. It ruins the experience. Maybe only for a few seconds, but a few seconds can break the great interest you had in what was going on, or can put you off and break your concentration.
A solid framerate is much more important than resolution,
resolution just improves the aesthetics of the game, framerate makes the game playable.
