    When playing a game they say that you don't notice much of a difference if the FPS is 100+..
    So I'm guessing about 200 ? Idk.

    I always keep my framerate low when possible. Don't see any difference, and you can set other settings a lot higher because of that.

    I eye can see 28 frames per second. However, it can tell the difference between, say, 45 and 60 FPS.



    Also, cause apparently, you didn't get it the first time, stop with the mong0! rocks! tags. This is your last warning.

    the eye is analogue, not digital. it doesn't have fps.

    However, the nervous system does offer a greater reactance to high frequency strobing than to low frequency strobing, and I expect a similar thing happens with the opto-chemical changes in the retina.

    Cause I removed the tag.

    @ Jasmine - True, but 28 frames per second is all the eye can differentiate between, and is considered 'real time'

    Actually the FPS of the eye is about 60 frames per second or so. That is why making video or any other media past that rate isn't really worth it because the human eye can't see that many per second.

    On wiki however it says it can go up to 200 fps or even faster, but who knows how accurate that is.

    I can tell if my monitor has a refresh rate of 60Hz instead of 90Hz.

    But actually, the conscious parts of brain have a core frequency of about 9-10Hz, which is 'mentally active' beta wave frequency. This means that the maximum number of perceptions/thoughts you can have is 10 per second. This has been well established.

    So we don't actually see frame rates faster than this, our brains just begins to blur several of them together. Motion detection is a separate brain function, which doesn't work in some individuals, which is how we know about it. This adds concepts of 'motion' to these thoughts/perceptions. It isn't simply a video in our brains. :)

    as for the framerate

    lower = faster
    higher = smoother
