    and then move on to explain why hdmi standard mandates 24 fps, and this has been the minimum requirement for 'smooth' since aeons in display related 'anything'.

    Wrong. I'll agree that over 60 doesn't really matter but as a former game developer I can tell you there is a HUGE difference between 30 and 60.

    yes. that should be why hdmi standard requires 24 fps as absolute minimum. because a game developer somewhere, and some percentage of gamers who equate the fps counter or the hardware in their machine with their egos, think they perceive differences in between 30 and 60 fps.

    no, you dont. unless you genetically modified yourself. any argument otherwise is bullshit, until proper research is referenced.

    no. the question is rhetorical. there isnt one single research that shows humans are able to perceive a difference in between 40 fps and 60 fps. its total bullshit.

    hdmi specification requires 24 fps. not 60 fps. because, 24 fps is scientifically backed, whereas the only thing backing 'i can perceive 60 fps' is the self-propagated bullshit from gamers. nothing else.

    . I feel that 25fps is just flat out unplayable and anything under 60 is distracting and annoying. I believe that most gamers would agree

    and thats the problem. you FEEL that. all scientific researches show 'smooth' being 24 fps for human eye (hence hdmi minimum mandatory frame rate), and anything over 30 fps smooth even if you try to twinkle your eye by looking towards another direction than the display.

    you FEEL it. its totally subjective, unscientific, unbacked opinion.

    and its bullshit. excuse me but there is no other way of putting this, after thinking like you for close to a decade and trying to beef up my pc to meet the totally unnecessary frame rate counts, only to eventually notice that its a whole load of subjective bullcrap.

    we, as people, do not notice differences from 30 fps and on, EVEN if we ourselves 'feel' that we do.

    there is no difference in between 25 fps, or 30 fps or 40 fps to the human eye playing a game. other than the counter fraps shows. there wasnt any difference in between these with respect to human physiology and eye-brain connections either. we were still perceiving 24 fps as smooth, and anything over 30 fps as very smooth. thats why hdmi standard used to mandate 24 fps.

    Due to console gaming retarding pcs.

    im on single radeon 6950 (unlocked to 6970 by bios flash), and i am doing 5040x1050 res (3 monitor eyefinity) on swtor (the old republic), all settings full, and with 30-40 fps on average, and 25 fps+ on coruscant (coruscant is waaaaaaay too big).

    same for skyrim. i even have extra graphics mods on skyrim, fxaa injector etc (injected bloom into game) this that.

    so, top gpu of the existing generation (before any idiot jumps in to talk about 6990 being the top offering from ati ill let you know that 6990 is 2 6970s in crossfire, and 6950 gpu is just 6970 gpu with 38 or so shaders locked down via bios and underclocked - ALL are the same chip), is not only able to play the newest graphics-heavy games in max settings BUT also do it on 3 monitor eyefinity resolution.

    you are grossly ignorant of this.

    a medieval peasant would lose A LOT more than you, from his/her perspective. foremost being the piety, the standing in front of god's eyes. because the church have been conditioning people from birth to believing that lords held power in god's name, rebelling against the nobles had basically been made into a sin.

    for a medieval peasant even to muster the will to break that conditioning was something major.

    and, you dont know what came after repressed revolts - medieval torture. yes, not metaphorically, real medieval torture.

    if you are fooled into believing that you have more belongings and comfort of life in contemporary world, hence more to lose - think again - you are getting LESS than available amount and level of technology and wealth available to your civilization at your time, than a medieval peasant got as share from his society at his time - his share was 33%, and your share is just 15%.

    See ? Sounds brutal ? But that was how it was back in peasant revolts in middle ages - when a small minority enforced their rules and interests on overwhelming majority through organized repression through the system they established (political, economical) and usage of arms, there was no way out but that. And most of those uprisings are now considered revolutions that made our modern societal principles.

    See, something similar is happening, yet noone is doing anything, but talk. the only difference in between middle ages and now is, back then people were not allowed to talk. Now, you can talk, but talk changes nothing.

    does that mean, society is ok with getting repressed as long as they can talk against it, even if it doesnt provide any fruits ?

    It seems modern man is much more obedient than medieval peasant. the irony ....
