The difference between 30 fps and 60 fps is significant , as it makes all animation appear much smoother , more fluid . While it sounds like a small change , it makes a big difference . IMO , we all saw that in the recent Dead Rising 1 port . 60 fps is the absolute minimum for particular genres as well , such as hacknslash character action Devil May Cry , Bayonettta , fighting , rhythm , and racing . It helps players with timing and reaction when it comes to these games , making them an absolute must . Even back in N 64 days , Nintendo understood how important fps was when it came to FZero X which was 60 fps , a game which sacrificed graphics for higher framerate . Basically , it ' s considerably an improvement no matter what game it is , and PC players feel it ' s a must for all of their games .
