Re: [Algorithms] FPS Questions

[gl <gl...@nt...>]

Not only can I see the difference between 30 and 60 (they're a world apart),
I also find < 85Hz monitor refresh rate tiring.  At a 100, something very
interesting happens that's hard to put into words.  As with all things, once
you exceed the obvious limitations of something you find that there is still
a world of sublety to explore, so don't write off >60 fps just yet (Quake2
for example is especially 'liquid' at 100+).

The reason this comes up time and time again is precisely because I think
many people really can't tell the difference.  However, those'll just have
to accept that many of us can.
