Re: [Algorithms] FPS Questions

Ever played Classic Quake with 30 fps? I have, and you really Feel the
difference between 30 and 60 fps, or 30 and 100 fps...It's so much
smooother...
You also have to remember that fps-number is just the __Average__ number of
frames. There's alot more work involved in rendering when you see a whole
room with furniture, plants etc. than just a single wall. So if you're
average is 30 fps, you get 30+ when see a wall and 30- when you see a more
complex scene. (Hope ye get the idea...I'm no good story teller...)
