Re: [Algorithms] FPS Questions

[Keith Z.L. <ke...@dr...>]

All good points brought up.

On average (the average 3D game), you want to shoot for 60 fps.
But there are 3D games that don't require that level of performance,
for instance an adventure game, or turn based stradegy game, or
3D solitare.  :-)

And 60 fields per second on TV is better than 30 any day.
