What is the minimum FPS you consider to be playable?

Well wight lite is a speed, as in feet per second, and games are at a rate is in 80 frames per second. I think..........
 
This is a really good topic. When people on this forum recommend computers, they recommend them on the basis that it'll play games at 15fps. To me, I can't stand to play anything unless it's completely smooth, which is locked at 60fps with Vsync on.
 
Well since the difference between anything 60 FPS and above isnt noticable by the human eye (like u cant notice a difference between 80 and 100 FPS).... i'd say anything around 60 is comfortable.... but going to the bare minimum anything under 30 FPS will make me frustrated.

What the heck are you talking about? No computer that I have ever recommended would play games at 15fps.

Maybe not you, but I have seen people recommending things that would be "just fine" that would really suck.

Ok, not all of us can afford to spend $1000 every year to keep up with the increasing curve of games and the demand on hardware. While you won't necessarily be able to play games at the highest settings all the time, you can still play them. And that's what's important...

amen :)
 
I don't play games unless they're smooth and look good at the same time. Part of my OCD? Maybe. I still haven't completed FEAR because I can't get the best of both worlds with my card, especially at 1680x1050 on my VX2025wm. Heck, since I've gotten the VX2025 my card has been pushed with most games.

You got OCD bad then. I remember when I first played F.E.A.R. I had a 128MB Geforce FX5200 AGP. I had to do pixel doubling just to do rather low settings. my CPU at that time was 2Ghz 1GB of PC2700 RAM (dual channel) 8bit sound card from about 5 years ago.... Still loved the game and still do. Only now I got some majer upgrades:D
 
You don't have to spend $1000 every year. Just stick with mid level cards and you're good.

He was saying that recomending a comp that can only play a game with an average of 15fps is dumb. That's not playable IMO. You'll just end up getting a headache and becoming annoyed at that low of FPS.
