frame rate

I did the video stress on counter strike source and it gave me this

framerate:117.37fps . what does that mean?

frames per second, that is a very good number. Anything above about 60 or so cant be seen by humans.

Simplified further, if nessecary, frames mean individual still pictures that are put together one after the other to produce motion. The same way that film is recorded, the same way that TV is displayed.

I thought it was 27 or something around that?

This article is interesting: http://amo.net/NT/02-21-01FPS.html

I am not so sure it is 27 FPS now...

Anyway, if your monitor is refreshing lower than 117.37 times a second, you won't notice a difference.

The USAF, in testing their pilots for visual response time, used a simple test to see if the pilots could distinguish small changes in light. In their experiment a picture of an aircraft was flashed on a screen in a dark room at 1/220th of a second. Pilots were consistently able to "see" the afterimage as well as identify the aircraft. This simple and specific situation not only proves the ability to percieve 1 image within 1/220 of a second, but the ability to interpret higher FPS.

I found that last paragraph the most interesting. Good read.

I think it varies from person to person, cause I can sure as hell tell the difference between 60 and 30 FPS. above 40 is where it starts to look the same for me.

With our outstanding human visual, we can see in billions of colors (although it has been tested that women see as much as 30% more colors than men do.

That must be why women take longer shopping for clothes compared to men...

I tend to like having 60fps, anything around there gets pretty samey for me, especially since you're usually too busy shooting someone or driving or flying to pay too much attention.
