There seems to be the need >for a reference point for comparison. In my experience it's less /high/ framerates and more an issue of /stable/ framerates. If the game is jumping from 15 to 30 to 60fps, I notice it far more than if it's a rock-steady 30 (or even 20) fps. Age probably helps too; them youngsters swear there's an amazing difference between 30 and 60fps, but I can't see it at all. And don't get me started on the whole waste-of-money ultra-HD thing; 1024x768 should be enough for anyone ;-)
