I think that usually, anything over 60-80fps does not really matter. I would think of it in terms of obsolescence, if it cost $20 more to get 20more fps, do it. But for $100, nah.

Those of you who enjoy fast-action PC gaming, I have a question: At what point does FPS become moot? We all know that you can tell the difference between 40fps and 60fps, but what about 80fps vs 100fps? Here's why I ask, I am considering an SLI configuration of GeForce 8800 either GTS or GTX. I have only found one site so far to show benchmark comparisons of the two: http://www.hothardware.com/viewarticle.aspx?page=24&articleid=903&cid=2 On it, Quake4 performance is 141fps GTS vs 148fps GTX. No difference essentially. FEAR is 95fps GTS vs 120fps GTX. That's a considerable difference, but will it be noticeable? Biggest difference is Prey: 116fps GTS vs 154fps GTX. Big difference, but heck isn't 116fps good enough? Will I really notice the difference? thanks for your input... Veech
