I was reading an article about CSS gaming and they said the human eye cannot be effected by anything over 30 fps... yeah RIGHT. I played CSS on a tournament machine at a recent lan on a 6800GT, and even though it was running at 50 fps, it seemed laggy compared to my 8800 running at 230 fps.

It is a good article too.

That may be so that the eye can DETECT well over 200fps but do we NOTICE the difference of anything over 100fps?

That's what I meant in my previous post.

Some food for thought

well we don't in movies, i'm not sure how many fps it does but, it looks fluid to me.

According to that article they run at about 24 fps but when I play some on my PC they are coded for and run at 30fps.

Humans can't recognize past 20 FPS

My mind is slow. I see about .00012 fps. Like typing is... weird. But if you really are typing, then it's just fine.

Well, I figure I can recognize upwards of 70fps but it gets harder to tell the higher the framerate.

I guess there can't be a set answer for this question because everyone is different and will notice different fps's.

Definitely. Racing games, to me, are smooth at 20-25 fps... FPSes are generally about 5 fps higher to be completely smooth. I know they're not, but my eyes don't, and that's what counts!

Exactly my point, I installed the Colin Mcrea DiRT demo yesterday and with everything on high at 30-35fps it runs so smoothly. Personally I think high fps is only needed in shooters. Try playing BF2 at 30fps, aint going to happen.
