What is your opinion on FPS?

My opinion is this:

  • 30 FPS: Bare minimum acceptable frame rate for all games

  • 60 FPS: The standard that developers of most games should strive towards

  • 120 FPS: A good "maximum" frame rate for most games

  • 150 FPS: Suitable for very fast-paced "twitch shooter"/first-person-shooter games, probably unnecessary and overkill everywhere else

  • 180 FPS: This is generally where the "high end" of competitive "twitch shooter"/first-person-shooter players are. Extremely overkill in every other type of game.

200+ FPS: The realm of bragging rights and not much else. Yes, in most cases, "more FPS = better", but there are diminishing returns here. Extremely high FPS by itself isn't going to magically make you better at gaming.
