I think the point is that if you generally get 33 fps, in boss fights
the frames per second would dip down too low (e.g. 10 fps). IF the
speed remained at 33 fps even in tight boss fights, then yes, I'd
think it is quite enough.

For FPS games, I would agree 30 fps is fine, as long as it was solid
30 fps and not 10 fps here and 50 fps there.
