The Official thread of how many FPS the human eye can detect up to

[linkin]

Yeah, you've also got to remember the faster you are moving in game, the jerkier it will seem (for example, flying a fast jet vs walking)

If the FPS goes higher it will seem smoother, and depending on what you are doing in game it will be easily noticable or not noticable at all.

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

If the limit was 25 fps then no difference would be seen between 25 and any higher.

Say you have a game that has constant 75 fps, if the limit the eye could see was 25, you would only see every 3rd frame, so it would look the exact same as if it were at 25 fps, but it doesn't, it looks alot smoother, so the eye can notice that difference, so 25 isn't the limit.

I've tried to give proof of why it isn't 25, can you give some evidence for your claim? If you can find some that is true and accurate, I'll admit I was wrong, but then I would want an explaination of why you can see the difference between 25 fps and higher

Games are a poor way to measure output...for starters most LCD displays are capped at a maximum frame rate of 60fps. When gaming, more frames/second=more input/second, which is why you can feel the difference at higher framerates.

The whole eye is 25fps is sorta nonsense though i believe.

So it would help to get a screen with a higher refresh rate? mine runs at 75hz, does that mean the max you can "feel" with my screen is 75fps?

The max you can see on your display is 75fps(hz is somewhat of a misnomer, LCD's are measured by framerate(updates/second), which is similar to a refresh rate yet not the same. However, even on a 75frames/second display, by increasing the number of inputs/second, gameplay generally feels somewhat smoother. (Which is why, with people who have a 60 frame/second display, they swear by higher FPS's).

Right. I think it all makes sense now.

I can understand that, but I don't mean feeling it, I mean watching it.

For instance, few months back my CoD clan had an interclan league and all our members sent me the recordings of their gameplay so I could compile it and post it up. When watching it back, not playing the game, parts where my FPS dropped to 60fps could be distinguished from when they were up at 100+

I've been thinking too, and would the noticable fps not vary from perrson to person? A human doesn't work like a screen working at a certain fps, it takes in the light and interprits it, so if a person has better eyesight and a faster brain, would they not be able to notice higher fps than someone with poorer eyesight and a brain that can't make sense of the information it is being given as quickly? Doesn't that make the whole thread and discusion completely pointless then
