The peak FPS is a moot number to benchmark.
With hardware as fast as it is today, what you want to look for is the
LOWEST fps a game will get when benchmarking, and with all the eye candy
turned on. hardocp.com goes with this philosophy.
The human eye can very well detect differences from 60fps to over 100fps,
otherwise monitor makers would never bother offering refresh rates over 60hz

Subject: [H] FPS question for gamers...

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
