The what do you consider Your Minimum frame rate thread.

[Klo]

30 fps I'm happy with, although obviously more is better. I can cope with less though in some games.

 

[gurusan]

for FPS games I like a good 90-100+ average. Dips below 60fps anger me quite a lot but I don't want to shell out for a new GPU yet

 

[rounddodger]

60fps with vsync for me with the odd exception - Crysis being the main culprit.

Luckily even on my ageing system I can still ramp up the detail on most games I play to the max and maintain 60fps.

 

[jigger]

I can't get on with sub 45 FPS for long periods. I don't mind the odd dip but that's my cut off.

A steady 80-85 and I'm happy.


Would it be possible to get a poll going please mods ?

30 - 40
40 - 50
50 - 60
60 - 70
70 - 80

Sweet 60 would be great but generally I consider 30-40 fps for minimum apart from racing games where Ideally I would want 60

 

[bhavv]

I can tolerate around 20, maybe even 15 in RPGs like Oblivion, where the whole game is running fine except for the darn great forest.

 

[goujon945]

Preferably 60 for FPS games but usually 30 is the minimum I would like. Not sure if that is due to actual performance or some kind of e-peen/placebo effect

 

[Fenris]

30+ though it depends on the game.

 

[Creelers]

30 - 40 is fine for me, if I can get better great, but I usually turn AA and AF off in online games for more fluid firefights and gameplay.

Vsync is irelevant on a 120hz monitor as the tearing is so fast you have to really look for it to notice it, so that is off. Obviously having 120fps is ideal, looks great in TF2.

Surely you wouldn't get tearing until constantly hitting over 120fps

 

[MameFX]

60fps all games

 

[Deific]

25-30, games are still perfectly playable at 25fps without seeing any stutter, so I don't know why people feel the need to stroke their epeen and cut it off any higher

 

[Mr Fujisawa]

Surely you wouldn't get tearing until constantly hitting over 120fps

of course you do, because it's not synced. But because of the refresh rate being so high its very hard to notice.

Depends on the game. Ideally 50-60, but some games e.g. Crysis are playable at 30+.
