smooth fps for games?

Hi

I was wondering what is a good fps to get smooth gamplay in games? (this would be the minum fps). I am thinking 40 fps would be smooth gamplay?

Reason i ask is would you notice the difference between 40 fps and 100 fps visually? as i think the eye can only register a certain fps.

So is it worth getting a graphics card (for more money) to do 120 fps when you could play a game very smoothly with max setting at 40 fps.

Thanks

cool, am i correct in thinking that if you have a 60hz monitor then you will never see any benefit is have more than 60fps? because the monitor would not be able to display the extra fps?
