I just wonder, I can play RPG games at 35-40fps with no problem (even 30), strategy games at 30fps but I have recently beaten Hard Reset which is a fast paced first person shooter and it was a torment to finish at 38-45fps. In multiplayer shooters I just simply cannot play below 60 fps or vsync off.

Here's a list of couple of games I play with varied FPS values:

  • Skyrim (High, 2xAA) 35-40 fps (60+ indoors)
  • Fallout series (High 2xAA) 45-60 fps
  • TF2 (Max, 4xAA) 60+ fps
  • Hard Reset (max, 2xAA) 38-45 fps
  • Civilization V (max( 40-50 fps

I won't even play the game if I can't get 60 fps out of it. Tweak your settings down and you will get better FPS. (Do you really need ultra high quality water reflections?)

Depends on the game, but 30fps minimum. Strategy games are ok with 25fps, fast games like racing, shooters 40fps. Counter strike stable 60fps of course.

I need to be above 45FPS, but I can forgive drops to 30 in specific areas, but not game-wide.

My minimum is 50fps. 60 FPS is a must.

30-40 is alright if it's a very demanding game. i've never had the latest GPU when i was younger, so i'm kinda used to slow FPS. But luckilky i can run most games 40-60 FPS

25 is the bare minimum I can play, anything below makes me notice the framedrops.

I like playing in 24-30fps for cinematic experience(adventure/horror games). But for shooters like CS i need at least 50fps.

"I like playing in 24-30fps for cinematic experience" that is not how it works..

CS:GO 170-200 fps
DOTA 2 120 fps (Sometime in Linux in Dota 2 I have 45 fps, and I can see it, it's a big difference)

I like fps more than ultra high details.

I always aim for 60 and adjust settings as needed. I played Xbox for years at 30 fps, so anything above 60 seems unnecessary for me.

Well i am poor as heck, so i am used to low fps, most of the games runs like crap on my bottleneck pc. Usually 15-30 fps, but i played through Far Cry 3 with 11-12 fps. If the game is well optimized then 30-60 fps.

Before having a Gaming PC 25/30 was enough for me, but now that my eyes got used to 60+ fps in every game, I need at least 50

I can't see any differences between 30 and 60. So as long as I'm very very high 20s (27+) I'm fine.

FPS at 30 is as smooth as 60.

No, it's really not. Trust me. There is a significant difference; if you can't notice it, find something else to test with, because it's probably animation quality or something. Things that run at 60 are almost surreal compared to 30.

I'll drop to and lock at 30fps (via RadeonPro) if I can't get a stable 60fps. I'm fine with that as long as it's stable. What I can't stand is a framerate that's all over the place. A solid 30fps is much nicer to look at than constantly shifting between, say, 35-50fps.

I've never really paid attention to my FPS in games. I played TF2 the other day and it was around 150-250, which was fine of course. I'll try to have a look in other games, but I don't think I've played anything with an unbearable FPS.

Games like AC4 needs to become more stable. I usually get 30-35 maxed out with AA and stuff but because there are so many FPS drops it can go down to 20. However, in the latest games I think that 35+ FPS is okay because I've had a bad GPU for a few years and it was hard squeezing out 30 FPS on lowest with the lowest res possible on L4D2.
