as for consoles the cap is 30, and if it play stable on 30 fps the game practically runs without any stutter, so why pc gamers wants to cap it at 60 fps?? sorry im a newb,plan to build my first pc
http://www.boallen.com/fps-compare.html If you do not see the difference you need to get your eyes checked at some point. 60 makes the game run smoother.
Have you seen 60fps? Everything plays out a lot more fluidly.

yess ive seen 60fps on console, bayonetta on 360 got stable 60 fps, forza too,modern warfare 3 got 60 fps on 360 too but what happen when framerate drop under 60?? around 40 maybe?? is it gonna be annoying??

For example, god of war 3 goes from 60 to 30 fps.
I agree. Games @ 30fps just feel really choppy once you are used to 60fps. I get agrivated when it comes to games dropping below around 50, depending on the game. Games like LA Noire, which is locked at 30fps, seem choppy but you get used to it. I still wish it could run at a full 60! I am getting a 120hz 27" panel next month, so I may have to SLI my 570GTX to see if the jump from 60 to 120 makes just as big of a difference!
Because games on PC are faster paced than on consoles. So any kind of slow down will get you killed. Since everyone on consoles are using controllers, it doesn't really matter because it takes 10 years to get someone in your sights anyways, whereas on PC someone with mouse sensitivity set to max will be able to kill you in less than 1 second, so every frame counts.
Feels smoother, gameplay for me is much more enjoyable at a constant 60 fps. I will lower the graphics settings as needed to get to that point even if it means giving up alot of eye candy. In on-line shooters, a high fps is essential for my gameplay, I'm average at best and need all the help I can get.
Because they are a bunch of l33ters. Nope, just joking. I have no idea. Really, I do not really care how many fps I am getting as far my games don't lag.
Because 60fps is smoother, feels a little quicker and like I'm more in control. 30fps is fine, but if I can get 60 then I'm great, I prefer it to graphics actually (since I'll turn down settings to get a smoother 60 and played Bioshock 2 on PS3 with the improved framerate option, even though it made the game look a tad ugly).

I've always wondered how that option affects the PC version, I was surprised to see it in there for the PC. You would think the PC wouldn't have to compromise on Bioshock of all games. 60 fps is just pure awesome, that's all.
Because 30fps looks and feels laggy as heck. For me, I need 50+ fps. But ultimately, I want 60fps, no less. Why would I want 30fps? Sure, I don't mind playing 360 and PS3 exclusives at 30fps.. because I have no choice in that matter. But I don't have to settle for that with PC multi-plats and exclusive. Simple as that.
60 FPS feels and looks a lot smoother. I also feel that m/kb make you feel a bigger difference between 30 and 60 FPS; For example, when I'm playing Skyrim and the FPS drops to 30 (in Whiterun), it will feel slightly choppy when using m/kb, but if I plug in a gamepad there doesn't seem to be as huge a difference, this is probably because the m/kb is a lot faster than a gamepad so a higher FPS is needed for smooth gameplay.
Try playing CS at 30fps, then try playing CS at 60fps.
I can tolerate occasional drops to 30fps in RTS games and single-player games. OCCASIONAL.
Think of it like this: Run a mile with a 40lb weighted vest, now run a mile without it.

I thought most RTS games were locked at 30 frames per second.
I've only played SC2, Warcraft 3 and C&C3, all of which are always above 30fps.
I don't remember the first two. But, C&C3 has cutscenes that go above 30 fps. The actual gameplay screen is capped at 30 fps. It's not a big deal since an RTS game is very playable at 30 fps. The spare resources can be used to keep the smoothness going once units start piling up. I just played it a few minutes ago.
if the game runs smoother at 60fps and you want to avoid the screen tear then why do the developers put V-sync at 30 fps why not 40 or an adjustable one.
And btw am i right when i think that screen tearing is made when your monitor'sRefresh Rate (you know 60Hz, 3D 120Hz) is lower than what the Graphics Card is puming out in Frames Per Second?
even on conosle 30 FPS is mimimum or a game shouldn't be released or will get really bad review, 60 is desirable frame rate on whatever paltform. also, console has far less Frame gap than PC, on PC frame rate usually shift around from 10 to as much as 40 depend on the rig and games, on console is usually between 5 and no more than 10. that's why on PC 60 fps is so important.
