How important is 60fps to you?

60fps means half as much processing for the CPU as well as the GPU, so 60fps games have to be simpler.

I'm sorry, but wtf Curl...

It's true; at 60fps the CPU has 16.67ms of frametime to work with versus 33.3ms in a 30fps game.

That leaves half as much processing time for CPU tasks like physics, world simulation, AI, etc. That's why a game like say, Breath of the Wild wouldn't be 60fps on Wii U even if you dropped it's graphics to N64 level, because it would still be CPU bound by the physics.
