Does turning Motion Blur ON decreases FPS?

Yes. How much it decreases your fps by depends on the game.

But at the same time the transition between frames is smoother, so you don't feel the difference so much.

That is dependant on the game. It made Lost Planet unplayable on my old computer for example.

I agree with baranga... However if I don't cover the recommended requirements, I wouldn't turn it on, cuz on some places of the game it might really slow down because of the motion blur...

Ye it really depends on the game, but for the most part it will take down the FPS. But also just for competitive reasons, in say a MP game you might as well take it off even if your not getting FPS decreased by it just so you can play better.

motion blur actually help the fps, in theory. That why so many console games use it by blurring the background when you move to remove the pressure on the gpu. You see this in fps normally and racing games (sometime). Personnaly, I find it a crappy effect, like grain filter.

I don't know about console games but it's a fact that motion blur decreases framerate, especially in games like Crysis.

Meh crysis is not a good example for that, but if you look at game like Mass effect (and probably l4d) you will notice the difference

I;m not really sure but I like having motion blur even if I have to reduce the quality. Then again I'm used to 10-15 FPS so.

I don't get it. I played Team Fortress 2 and Mass Effect with Motion Blur ON and the FPS has greatly increased, but when I played Lost Planet with Motion Blur HIGH the FPS dropped from 70 to 40... So Motion Blur affects the FPS depending on the game? Why that?

In some games like Crysis, it does decrease FPS but not in a noticeable way since it blurs everything out. Too bad in most games it doesn't even look that good. Only game where I was really impressed with it was Assassin's Creed, mainly because of the focus effect it has on.
