Here’s a clearer version of your message:

I’m looking for everyone’s thoughts on this. In most non-speedy and timing-heavy games, what’s the typical playable frame rate? Examples include:
- CS:GO
- Bioshock titles
- Many first-person shooters
- Minecraft
- Terraria
- Some GTA games
- FTL
- Skyrim (to some extent)
- RTS games

Personally, I need around 40 frames per second or less for noticeable lag. What are your experiences?

Aim for consistent 60 frames per second across all games. Even a minor dip in performance can be disruptive. Upgrading my two GTX 980 cards will be done as soon as Pascal arrives.

The lowest threshold where I’m ready to play and have fun is between 26 and 28. It’s perfectly usable for me, works smoothly from 35 to 40, feels good at 50, but loses efficiency after 60 with a lot of wasted energy.

I’d still want smooth performance, around 60 frames per second, every time.

I've been enjoying Rise of the Tomb Raider on Xbox One; the low frame rate is noticeable but the game still works well. Maybe using a controller affects aiming, which is why I'd prefer 16ms frame times on PC later. A steady 33ms frame time makes it look smooth, and consistency matters. I dislike rates between 30-50 FPS—it feels sluggish without free sync or GSSync support.

The experience at 60 fps offers a nice fluidity, though dropping below 50 introduces some noticeable lag. It's still manageable, but the abrupt changes are bothersome. I'm accustomed to around 40 fps, so these fluctuations are quite disruptive.

In the first and third person games, you experience over 120 frames per second.

I experience anxiety when FPS drops below my comfortable threshold, usually around 1 below my caped frame rate. Otherwise, I'm okay with a range of 30 to 45.60.

Black Flag runs at 60 frames per second and frequently drops to about 40 FPS, which is really distracting. I'm just checking if this is normal or if I'm losing my mind.

Running gsync with minimal settings typically runs around 40-45, but performance drops significantly if it falls below that range. For competitive play, you want at least 90 and preferably 160.
