How many FPS do you consider minimum in a game?

[Agent]

Just wanted to split the other thread off a little bit. I'd like to do a little experiment

Its nice and simple, quote the following and fill the missing bits in. If you don't know one, be honest and say so

I consider the minimum playable FPS for my games to be:
I consider the maximum FPS that I can perceive to be happening:
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 30FPS: yes or no
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 60FPS: yes or no
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be higher than 60FPS: yes or no

I'll do a follow up post with some things that may be quite surprising to some of you

I consider the minimum playable FPS for my games to be:

25fps

I consider the maximum FPS that I can perceive to be happening:

40fps

I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 30FPS: yes or no

no

I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 60FPS: yes or no

no

I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be higher than 60FPS: yes or no

yes

I consider the minimum playable FPS for my games to be: Depends on the game, slow paced 30FPS is fine fast paced would be aiming for 60FPS
I consider the maximum FPS that I can perceive to be happening: Under what circumstances on a monitor or in real life? My eyes are analogue so I don't think they are going to work in FPS, however I can see the difference between 30 and 60 FPS if that answers the question?
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 30FPS: NO
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 60FPS: NO
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be higher than 60FPS: YES

I consider the minimum playable FPS for my games to be: 20
I consider the maximum FPS that I can perceive to be happening: 60 (roughly)
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 30FPS: no
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 60FPS: yes
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be higher than 60FPS: no

[crazyfool]

I consider the minimum playable FPS for my games to be: 25
I consider the maximum FPS that I can perceive to be happening: 60 (roughly)
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 30FPS: no... faced paced games show up a low frame rate
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 60FPS: yes
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be higher than 60FPS: no because on a stabdard 60hz monitor you cannot see more than 60fps due to the refresh per second rate

[Lanky123]

I consider the minimum playable FPS for my games to be: 20FPS (too many games with an old fx5700 )

I consider the maximum FPS that I can perceive to be happening: 50 (don't really care about more above that, though I certainly can notice it if the frame rate isn't steady and there are dips).

I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 30FPS: no

I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 60FPS: yes

I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be higher than 60FPS: no

[Hicks12]

I consider the minimum playable FPS for my games to be: 25, crysis is the only game thats forced me to it .
I consider the maximum FPS that I can perceive to be happening: Honestly, dont know but id say its around 60max.
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 30FPS: no
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 60FPS: no
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be higher than 60FPS: yes, i think its 100FPS but there is little difference from 60->100, havent played a game with above 60 because i never ha d agood pc till now .

abit - 70

[NovaSphere]

I consider the minimum playable FPS for my games to be:

Arround 30 fps.

I consider the maximum FPS that I can perceive to be happening:

Arround 100 fps (but to be honest, I don't know what would be bad in having to high fps? My fps simply never passed 100 in any game I checked it on, hence the answer)

I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 30FPS: yes or no

No.

I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 60FPS: yes or no

Yes.

I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be higher than 60FPS: yes or no

No.

[shadowmaster]

I consider the minimum playable FPS for my games to be: 30

I consider the maximum FPS that I can perceive to be happening: 100

I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 30FPS: no

I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 60FPS: no

I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be higher than 60FPS: yes

However the minimum does vary for me depending the game. If I'm playing something slow like C&C then anything above 20 would be fine, but if I'm playing a fast paced first person shooter, then something like 35 to 40 would me minimum.

What kind of game are we talking about? Is the limit regarding watching real life, an LCD display or a CRT display?

[Thorsson]

I consider the minimum playable FPS for my games to be: 30
I consider the maximum FPS that I can perceive to be happening: 60 or maybe more
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 30FPS: no
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be around 60FPS: probably
I consider the 'limit' the eye can see to be higher than 60FPS: probably not

Maybe, if the equipment is right, you can see the difference between 90 and 60, but it's not like the difference between 40 & 60 (same % hike).
