Can you see the difference between 30 and 60 fps?

So can you? I find that alot of console players say they cant tell a difference between 30 and 60 fps. I rather find that the difference just isnt as great as say 15 fps compared to 30 fps. Keep in mind you need to have a 60 hz monitor or tv to see 60 fps on your screen regardless of what your console or computer are rendering at.

Here is a link where you can see animations rendered at different fps. So..can you see a difference?

Yes, it's a world of difference, and makes thing so much smooth and more playable, which is why I game on PC.

yes.

I can see it. I don't understand how anyone couldn't. Hell I can tell the difference between 120 Hz too.

Yes, it's extremely obvious, especially w/o motionblur, but even with that, it's still obvious. Also "Keep in mind you need to have a 60 hz monitor" I don't know when dedicated monitors Weren't 60hz+..Inconsistancy

Some tvs are 30hz so i dont know if people are using a tv as a monitor or something.

Yes. It's a huge difference.

Yeah, although the difference is more noticeable going to 30FPS after being at 60 rather than vice versa.

30FPS isn't bad though.

Definitely. The Call of Duty series are pretty great at this which keeps everything fast paced, so its hard to play other shooter campaigns stuck at 30fps.

Its a big difference and I've always noticed it since the DC launched (all our games were capped at 50 interlaced prior to that and I didn't pc game much). It doesn't matter for every game though.

Really really really minor difference between 60 and 30. Not enough for me to actually notice if I was into the game.

I prefer to say that I can "feel it". I couldn't look at the monitor and tell you if I am seeing 30 fps or 60 fps however when playing 60 fps is much smoother than 30.

Yes. There is a very big difference between the two.

Yes very clearly. Console gamers can tell, they just don't know that the difference they "feel" is the framerate. Remember when BF BC2 beta came out, and all the COD fanboys reactions... well they were referring to framerate I am sure.SaltyMeatballs

It's easier for PC gamers to pick up on the difference, as console gamers largely deal with fixed frame rate games. I know I've messed with settings to achieve the desired high frame rate, and noted the difference in motion.

It's a night and day difference.

Yes. It's actually very noticeable to me.

Yes. Noticable difference.

Yes. See for yourself. This demonstration involves a little blue block jumping up and down. The quality of the animation is very noticeable. If you throw in full scale 3d environments and a bunch of moving characters you'll notice the same quality (or lack there of) in everything on screen. MrSelf-Destruct

yeah but i am not really blown away by it

It is very noticable. I love having my games at 60 FPS that is one reason I like Nintendo games because they are mainly at 60 FPS. Most of their games this gen are at 60 FPS last gen they only had 3 games at 60 FPS (Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and F-Zero GX) On the N64 they had one game at 60 FPS (F-Zero X)

I can see the difference for sure, but 30fps isn't "unplayable" and I find that I have no problem with games like Killzone 3 that run at 30fps. Uncharted also runs at 30fps yet seems to look so smooth and run smoothly. 60 fps is obviously much better though, and I'm definitely surprised that RAGE, with all of its features, open world, and amazing graphics, can run at a constant 60fps.

yes, play call of duty then play all other shooters, one of the main reasons cod is so successful.

The differences are not that noticable on the examples in your link, but in videogames, it is noticable.

I can't BELIEVE people actually think the human eye can't see the difference between 30 and 60 fps. IT ANGERS ME SO!

Oh, and there's also a huge difference between 60 fps and 120 fps.

COD it just feels so smooth and faster

Of course. (I have the LG W2363D)

Yes i can see the difference.

It's obvious that you can see a difference, the question you should have asked was is it worth the money to play games at no less than 60fps and higher. How much does it cost to run Crysis at no less than 60fps on max settings at 1920x1080? CB4McGusto
