Kind of a random question but why is it that devs seem to always target either 30 or 60fps? Is their a reason that say targeting stable 45fps isnt really a thing?

As I understand it, the majority of screen refresh 60 times per second, so 30 and 60 fit neatly into that by displaying a new frame every 1 or 2 refreshes. 45 isn't a multiple of 60, so it wouldn't fit evenly into the screen's 60 refreshes, leaving some frames persisting on screen for longer and creating a subtle sense of judder. 

G-Sync solves this by synchronizing screen refresh with frame output, but it's not really mainstream yet and so for most gamers either 30 or 60fps offers the most consistent experience.

Ok that makes sense, thanks.
