OK, over and over again I see in threads that say you can't notice if its over 40, or 55, or 70 or 60, and I get tired of this. Now its time to find the truth or find an agreement. What do YOU think is the max FPS the human eye can detect?
 
This thread is really not different from those others ;). The outcome will be the same. So as not to spam your thread I'll lend my thoughts.

I've read that 25 was the limit where you won't notice slow down. However when it comes to PC gaming there is a bit more then just FPS in play here ;). For example... If someone is playing a game and it's choppy at 25 FPS it could be due too seek times on HD (loading textures etc.) But people will "think" this is due too the 25 FPS they are seeing put out by the graphics card. There are allot more to factor for slow games, choppiness etc. You will see many people disagree on the amount of FPS is necessary because they don't factor in the others when they judge while playing.
 
Ive always heard around 30 FPS ,may depend on the person's visual acuity as well as could change day per day even in the same person.As a welder I know for a fact that I see better on days I havent been welding.

In some cases, like this, I'd prefer an old thread get bumped rather then several new threads be created. Search the OS section for the various Windows 7 threads, for example.
 
Well, i dont know, but i do know i can surely tell a difference between a 60hz and 120hz display, 120hz display's look much smoother as far as action than a 60hz.
 
Ok well human eye can defo see 60fps, but it depends on the contrast of the visual stimulus, the eye can detect a flash of lightning, which is actually 4 flashes over 200ms 1/8th of a second, the flashes actually only last 1ms each 1/1000 of a ms, so when we see a flash we see 50ms worth of black compared to that 1ms of light, however if lightning was blue we wouldnt see it. Basically its all relative
 
Back in the day (the naughties lol) I was told by my IT teacher that anything over 25 fps is considered moving to the naked eye. Also I run 60 Hz as its the maximum my LCD can run.
 
I'm pretty sure a Disney movie is displayed at 30 frames per second, but I can neither guarantee the accuracy, or the relevance of that claim. :)
 
The only fact here is the human eye cannot see faster than 25fps thats what TV uses and its not noticable, its a proven fact question answered lol.

Go and cap a game at 25 fps, then, set the max fps to 40, then 60, then 80, then 100, then 120. Each one has a noticable difference, 25 will seem jerkier, and as you up the fps it will seem smoother. If you had the game at 120fps then dropped to 25, you will see the difference is massive, so no, what you said is not a fact
 
yeh thats because the game has been coded to run at 60FPS to keep it smooth you can telling yourself its 60 but its 25, same as what TV uses
