Frame rate drops. I hate some places in Dark and Demon's Souls because of this (even though i find those two game to be the best of what came out of the 7th gen)

Frame rates without question.

It's funny, nearly every reply says framerate, yet the poll is very close.
Any screen tearing voters want to step out and explain your choice?

Proxy voter maybe with an agenda?

Hard to imagine one would have an agenda in something like this, there's no console war politics involved or anything...

Screen tearing.

if its serious frame rate drops like dropping from 30 to 18/16 then FR. but actually i get irritated by screen tearing more usually.

I hate framerate drops.

I hate, hate, hate texture pop-in.
I dislike screen tearing.

I really don't care, i mean when it happens i notice but for me is just like -whatever- the same with pop up textures/etc. - it's annoying sometimes but most of the time i don't care at all unless a good frame-rate is absolutely necessary for the game like in a shooter or action game but those are very rare occasions

You are right, but you never know on a gaming website!
