if FPS go to 30 it can ruin an FPS game for me
so 40-50 minimum which is hard to get with games like CSS.

Completely depends on game. CS:S for example 60fps + ideally.

I get usually 90fps on COD 4 multiplayer, am happy with it. Sometimes its not about the framerate but how smooth those frames are. Like someone said above, DiRT seemed smooth even at 20-25fps (what I use to play it at) yet Medal Of Honour: Airbourne (brought last week for £10, sold today for £12) felt a bit laggy/jerky even at 40, so it really does differ.
I know a lot of people complained on the latest Need For Speed patch locking the framerate to 30, many stating it killed the game!!

As long as it never dips below 30fps i'm fine with it, but the higher the better.

Not sure, it vaires id say, as some games you can play fine at about 25-30fps.
I can't see how some people say less than 60 is a no, no, as no card will give you a minimum 60, unless your playing very ancient games, or your playing in very low details at low resolutions, no AA/AF, which would just be pointless on a top end card like an X2/GX2.

FPS: 30+ all the time, including minimal FPS.
Crysis: 20+, or 15+ with object motion blur
online FPS: 60 constant, cannot below 50
RTS: 20 is fine, 15 minimum for Supreme Commander, WiC 15FPS benchmark minimum (8800GTX, 16xCSAA, all highest, no G92 can do that! )
Racing: 30+
still need to find a game that will stretch the 8800GTX monster! even Crysis at native 1680x1050 all Very High is just about playable after 1.2 patch. 1440x900 makes it very enjoyable.
why no one asks about maximum FPS??
my max is 60. cannot stand any form of tearing.
