hey i was wondering if i should shell out 600 to upgrade my comp or just buy a 360 and it seems the pcs always struggle to maintain high frame rates. what is a game like oblivion's frame rate? im hoping all the games are 50+ fps
I'm not sure of the exact, but it's pretty good. It's only bad when loading new areas, plus frequent load times, still a great game though. Plus, you never have to upgrade your 360!
either the PS3 or 360 will run Oblivion better than most pc's under a grand. Only time i had a frame rate error was when I duped a potion 5000 times in one shot. lol.
oh, if u didnt notice i was being sarcasting,:P , umm, yeah the 360s pretty good, it's really up to the developers if the game has framerate issues or not. But the 360 shouldnt have bad frame rate for a few more years at least, that is unless the developers choke
Dunno what Oblivions framerate is but sure as hell isn't some 50+. Maybe indoors but that's it. Besides the draw distance isn't very good and that is pretty annoying for these kinds of games, I think.

most games on 360 and ps3 only run 30
never have to upgrade?hmmm whats the eilte and that update that upgraded the 360 to do 1080 p?

New to console gaming are you? Console games standardly provide 30 FPS. There are one or two games out there that strive for 60 FPS, but that's really only one or two. If I remember correctly, and I could be wrong, so far the only game that is going to run 60 FPS is Forza 2. All the other games out and announced are running/going to run 30 FPS.

Ehm, the Elite doesn't upgrade any performance and the update for 1080p was a free Dashboard update...
as a pc gamer i think the 360s framerate is fine. only some of the older games have bad frame rate, which theres probably only a couple. Although most 360 games have their framerate locked at 30... I also want to say no matter how bad any games' frame rate is, its still fully playable... it never gets that bad
Games dont have to be more then 30 Fps cuz the eye cant see any faster then that. The good thing with a high frame rate is that can go down a bit but you dont notice it. If there where a game that constantly was on 30FPS you would not be able to notice any slowdowns in the picture.. Most 360 games runs at 30 FPS as mentioned above, but some of them does not have steady frame rate, like oblivion when very much is happening on the screen it tends to slow down abit but not as much so it is unplayable..
Oblivion is 30fps i think, but it stays there just fine, Forza 2 and some other games are 60fps. Ive never thought consoles were silky smooth but their good enough.

if your eyes could only see 30 fps then no one would ever make anything beyong that, there wouldnt be any point, and screen refresh rates above 60htz would be pointless and everything in real life would look just the same as the computer games. Your eyes can see way above 30fps, ive read pages that reckon over 120 fps is easily realistic.

COD2, COD3(not steady) and a few others have ran at 60fps also.
But all in all some games do have poor low framerates f you are used to playing on PC and a few of the earlier game definatley have issues, Quake 4, Saints Row etc have framerate issues, also a few screen tearing issues.
In answer to the original question, the 360 is more than capable of 50+ frames per second. Whether developers use that power effectively is a completely different story. Frame rate depends completely on the development team when it comes to console gaming.
does the ps3 generally have better frame rates? i know it does for obliviontigerballer
Considering the fact that the ps3 version was redone to be better than the 360 in that specific department and far off visual, no the ps3 does not have better frames rates. It depends on the developers
it really depends on the television as to whether frame rate will be a problem not the xbox 360.Chief_Gamer
What? Unless you have an acient tv circa 1940s the tv will not be causing the frame rate problem. All modern TV sets under NTSC regions are capable of outputing at 60 Hz (read 60 fps) and higher. To suggest that the xbox is faultless when it comes to frame rates is ignorant. There are games that will make the 360 chug on the frame rate. Quake 4, Just Cause, and Rainbow Six Vegas are just a few that sometimes chug, but it's not a TV issue, it's the game/xbox that is the source.

Thank you, I'm getting sick and tired of misinformed people saying TV's are the deciding factor for console framerates. Your television has NOTHING to do with framerate.
I dont think Ive had framerate problems in any of my games. And games like COD2 and FEAR certainly dont run nearly as well on my PC. Only game with framrate issuse is Earth Defense Force. But its just slowdown that dosnt really hinder gameplay. Plus its an awsome game.
it's horrible, the 360 makes games have bad framerate. If u care about frame rate, or in fact good games dont buy a 360, buy a ps3, the blu ray REALLY helps te game real well,

you have no clue what yur talking about. "The blu ray helps te game real well" How old are you anyways? Blu-ray has nothing to do with a console's frame rate. Its over all CPU proformance. Go play your PS3 and leave us XBOTS in peace.
It depends on the game and how they optimist it with the system. Most games run at at least 30-60 FPS but there is no way to tell. Also Muliplayer cuts the frame rates down a bit, like with GRAW 2 the frame rate is 5-15 FPS on 4 player split screen, just way to much stuff going on the screen.
