Frames Per Second?

Well, it depends on who you talk to.

Let me rephrase what I said. Over 25 or 30 frames per second, the frames are considered by the human eye to be motion rather than seperate frames. Personally, I can't tell the difference in this game or any other over about 30 and that's all that matters. The human eye may process an infinite number of frames per second, but after about 30 "it just doesn't matter".

I agree with you on what you just stated,, because most assuredly in games *esp' with some kind of motion blur* anything over 30 fps will not be effectivly noticable in terms of smoothness, tho without in very fast moving objects you can see some hitching compared to 100+ fps, But at that point we really are nitpicking.

Many FPS players claim to tell the diff between 40 fps and 70 fps, Tho Visually there is barely if any "real" perceivable diffrence in visual smoothness, (the placibo effect is caused by the controls being smoother due to more updates to the controls and mouse movements per second, since out sense of touch and movement is even greater then our sight alone.

But well met , i respect your well informed and intelligent reply.

I really should have stated it that way to begin with, but as fast as I'm losing brain cells, it's usually hours later that I figure out that I (to quote my "favorite" President) "mispoke myself":rotfl: . Thanks for pointing out my foible.

I know exactly what you mean about folks claiming to "eyeball" the differences in frame rates. I know a fella that claims that 60fps makes his "eyes bleed".

Anyway, I didn't mean to start a huge medical discussion by "misspeaking" myself. Likewise, I appreciate the informed rebuttal to my original statement. Nothing like a good debate

I'd just like to state that when I started with computers, we could have measured in SPF (Seconds Per Frame). I'm sure glad that's changed

Heh...when I'm in stormy, foggy seas, with lots of ships in the vicinity, and a torpedo strikes true, I use SPF when the explosion ensues. After that, I'm back to single-digit FPS :p
