    Uhu, usually about 30 is required for it to be smooth, anything under gets somewhat choppy.

    30 fps is considered playable, 60 fps is considered perfect. That's what I hear a lot and it's true, but 18-20 fps would probably be the minimum.

    to my knowledge 30 is good enough while 60 is great, and i doubt if the difference between 60 and 100 is noticeable...

    I don't really know how many FPS i get but as i'm playing LOTR at the mo it does pt a little strain on my PC as i play on very High with very little lag (only when there is a lot of people) but for some reason my computer can't handle monster play raids. I get around 10-20 FPS on very low detail but then the battle i join was a 20 vs 20 raid.

    25 is minimal, I usually mold the setting until I get a steady 30

    Would anyone recommend getting an ATI Radeon HD 4850?

    It's came out recently and costs $200 and is what I plan on getting.

    I can live with 30. Anything less is annoying.

    5-10FPS isn't smooth. In fact, that's choppy as hell.

    40-50 is what I consider smooth.

    you would need 30-40 fps to be able to play with no gfx lag
    you would need 60/70+fps to be competitive

    I haven't found one that isn't smooth if i set it to a certain level except crysis..'

    for FPS I aim for about 40-50 (for very fast paced ones like gunz I get about 60-80fps, which I get on highest settings lol
