The 30 vs 60 fps test - can you see the difference

both look great im leaning twards the left a little but guess waht you guys that make a big deal about this are total losers... complete and utter losers... the only time i notice FPS is when a game drops in FPS that the only time... as long as it is a consistant FPS it should be good for 95% of all videogame players

Youtube caps all videos at 30fps.

Doesn't matter. You can't see more than 30 fps in a youtube video. video captured at 60 fps, then uploaded to youtube, will look identical to the same piece of gameplay, captured at 30 fps. That's why most people who use capture cards, or decent capture software, that allows them to do it, will have videos capture at 30 fps, even if they're playing at 60 or more, because if the video is just going to go to youtube anyway, any more than 30 fps serves literally no purpose, and makes the video files huge.

[QUOTE="redskins26rocs"]When it comes to fps the main difference is the way the game feels it just makes the game feel so smooth as for just watching it is not too noticeable. And anyone who disagrees is either blind or has never played 2 versions of the same game at 30 and 60 fps.seanmcloughlin

This is a big thing with this debate I think. A lot of people play say Uncharted 2 and say 30 fps is fine and 60 fps doesn't matter for games  but that's only cos we have never seen Uncharted running at 60 to tell.

The big thing for me was going from my PS3 playing a LOT of BC2 and then getting a gaming PC and seeing 60fps constant and my what a change that was

Yeah, 30fps is still really smooth. It's not that noticeable until you actualy compare it side-by-side with a 60fps game. The added smoothness in 60fps is nice, but it's not a make or break sort of thing.

When you game on a 144Hz monitor you can most definitely tell about FPS all the time. Just cos we might not think about it all the time though doesn't mean constant 60 fps isn't nicer. It's so much easier on the eyes too

I wouldn't call it "really smooth" but it's still very playable of course.

I agree.

30fps avg with dips and rises = bad

30fps sustained = good enough

60 fps avg or sustained = yummy

[QUOTE="mems_1224"]I can't see the difference. Those look like the same two gifs to me. cfisher2833

If you click on the link at the bottom of op's post it will bring you to a new window, and it's much more noticeable than in gif form. In gif form, you can barely see any difference whatsoever when the gif is in the forum.

In a video with that much detail the difference can be subtle, most people will do better with this:

this

much better

Agreed, this is a much better representation of the difference

Doing this test with Gifs isn't quite teh same. Overall yes 60fps makes a difference and it is a noticable difference. I prefer 60 but i will accept 30 fps on PC games. For COnsoles, it really depends. Having a FPS in 60fps makes it better, but having a game like say gears of war, I can live with 30 fps.

Also, if its a puzzle game like bejweled, 30fps, lol.

Definitely the left, but I had to watch for a bit.

Does this thread have some blind people or what? The left side is so smooth compared to the right side it's not even funny.

You can spot 30 fps right away but it isn't a huge deal on consoles. The thing is with PC you sit much closer to the screen and noticing it.

Sitting farther from the screen doesn't make lower framerates seem smoother. You're thinking about resolution, and even then, it's a bullshit argument, as higher resolution always makes everything look better, no matter how big your display is, or how close you are to it.

I can easily tell the difference. When the FPS fix for Dark Souls hit PC I instantly could tell how much smoother all the animations looked.

The middle one is clearly the most natural.

You have to see side by side to see the dif. Thats how I noticed it.

It's harder to tell the difference between the gifs because your brain "fills in the gaps"

d-d-d-d-d-d-damage control.

30 FPS is fine.

60 FPS is just better, but you don't have to play with it all of the time.

It's a problem when it hits 20 or lower.

Do you have one between 60 and 30?

No, its either something to do with gifs or browsers but you can't display anything above 50 fps on webpages. There's some explanation of it in the comments about .

So obviously left. Looks so smooth and sexy. Right looks like your typical console game.

I can also recommend the GT video of DmC:

The difference is very clear as long as the browser and the connection hold up.

No brainer left!

You can see the right side chug.

I can't wait till GPU's can run games at 120 FPS maxed. :)
