On a side note, the tagged game is a brilliant choice for this thread, I must say. :P

Hehe, thanks ^_^

Frame rate is bullshit. It's an average estimate over a second. What counts are frame times. If those aren't equal even 60 fps feel choppy.

30 fps even with smooth frame times is still bad though because of the gigantic input lag.

Below 25 and you ll def. notice it.
If it goes under 20... thats just not acceptable.

Stable 30 or 60 is preferable. There is no set number. But it has to be stable.

10fps and below.


15fps and above is fine for me.

I would rather 120 or higher, but I'll admit I'm a bit different.

I thought The Hobbit at High Frame Rate was about half where a film needs to be.

I always thought the movies at 24p (really each frame is showed a few times) was ridiculously slow.

For games I tollerate 30, but It looks really funky sometimes and would rather 60 be the normal.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Anything that gets to the point where it interferes with actual gameplay - and that depends on the game.
