In some cases it was obvious, in some I had to guess because it was really hard to tell. And what I definitely can't tell is wether or not a game is 30 or 60 fps if there's no comparison. It's hard enough with a comparison for me, even though I got 10/11 right.

Edit: The one I didn't catch was Arma II, even though looking at it now, the rotor blades seem to move faster.

Your Score:11/11


How could you possibly not.

 

[Shane]

I got 10/11. Surprised by that as my eyes were struggling to flick between the two screens. The helicopter one was hard; ended up going against my gut feeling and getting it wrong.

Turning in a FPS gives it away instantly.

 

[Jindrax]

I still don't understand how you can't

 

[Stallion Free]

11/11, it was obvious just like when actually playing games.

 

[statham]

5/11

 

[KKRT00]

Definitely more obvious in some games than in others...mainly the difficulty comes from the screens being next to each other...

Got 11/11

Any example with FPP game with mouse camera movement was noticeable in 0.5s to me.

 

[jacobeid]

11/11, so yes. Could have told you that before testing myself

Ninja Turtles took the most time to tell the difference.

 

[Seyavesh]

totally expected a jump scare thing

now i'm disappointed there isn't and it's just a real test

that all the vids are of movement makes it too simple because that's one of the easiest ways to tell the difference when side-by-side, 60fps movement is significantly smoother than 30fps movement even on a visual level nevermind an actual control level

11/11

Very noticeable

 

[Jaffaboy]

11/11 here. It really makes a huge difference, especially when playing. First time I played Race the Sun at 60FPS on a more powerful PC than my own I absolutely smashed my PB with ease.

 

[Askherserenity]

You would literally have to be blind to not see the difference.

Spoiler

I'm not blind. 11/11

 

[Rnr1224]

Absolutely

 

[3bdelilah]

I used to say no, but since I've switched to pc as my main gaming platform for a couple of months, I definitely seem to see the difference. Maybe just psychological because I always have FRAPS on to monitor the frame-rate, or I actually can see the difference. I'm inclined to think the latter.

 

[Late Flag]

11/11. So obvious.

 

[Calm Killer]

http://a.pomf.se/xtmogf.webm Pretty obvious to me. If you don't see a difference you probably have some kind of visual impairment.

What am I suppose to see that is different? Can someone point it out please?

 

[Amir0x]

You would literally have to be blind to not see the difference.

Spoiler

I'm not blind.

we have to kickstart an eye program for gamers so they can get glasses and see the splendor of 60fps

 

[josecitoxnyo]

Of course.

Your Score:11/11

 

[Upinsmoke]

Yes, but it's even more noticeable when your playing.

 

[Floridian]

I got 11/11 and Resolution isn't even a factor for me. The only two that was a little hard to differentiate were the New Vegas and Teenage mutant turtles clips

 

[ChackanKun]

Your Score:10/11

Got the Bike game wrong!

 

[AkIRA_22]

FPS? No.
Racing game? Yes
RPG? No.
Fighting game? Yes.

 

[angrygnat]

I switched my TLOU to 30FPS just for fun. I couldn't really see any difference but I switched it back because for whatever reason something just felt off. I have never really been big on FPS. If the game runs smooth that's the only thing I worry about. That being said, if I'm given the choice between a smooth 60FPS and a smooth 30 FPS, I'm going to take the higher frame rate every time. Why wouldn't you?

 

[curlycare]

11/11 and I find the difference even more obvious when actually playing.

Edit: Beaten, many times.

 

[Atraveller]

What am I suppose to see that is different? Can someone point it out please?

30/60 switching back and forth.

 

[-MD-]

What am I suppose to see that is different? Can someone point it out please?

You can't see how smooth it is during the 60 fps portion?

 

[Bit-Bit]

There are people who can't? Maybe they should go see an eye doctor.

 

[Izuna]

This wasn't fun really. Apart from the last one everything just took me looking at one for a second then I knew if it was 30 or 60, as everyone should.

It doesn't even have to be the same game in these tests though, and it if it wants it test people it shouldn't. Have Destiny up against HL2 or something, or GT5 against DriveClub etc.

 

[Shiina]

What am I suppose to see that is different? Can someone point it out please?

The 60 FPS parts are very smooth, the 30 FPS parts are very choppy and almost feel like they play in slow motion in comparison.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Well that was pretty easy. You just pick the not choppy one.

 

[JimiNutz]

Not really.
I can kind of tell but the most important thing to me is a rock solid frame rate, I don't care if it's 30 or 60 but please don't dip - no matter what

My preference will always be for 60 fps if possible though just because it feels better (even if I can't immediately tell whether it is actually 60 fps or not).

I care even less about 900p vs 1080p.
That for me doesn't really mean much.

 

[ashleythedragon]

Just me, or I see 60FPS games actualy sloppier and slower???

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I love 60fps so much that I want every single game to be 60fps and at least 900p.

After playing Metro Redux and Last of Us at those specs I NEVER want to go back!

 

[Adry9]

If you can't tell de difference between 30 and 60 on any type of game you need to see a doctor.

 

[Boogdud]

11/11

People honestly have a hard time telling between the two? I find that hard to believe.

 

[Easy_D]

What am I suppose to see that is different? Can someone point it out please?

How it goes from being buttery smooth one second to being this jerky mess the next then back again.

Not that playing games locked at 30 is that jarring, since you adapt to it over time, but when compared like that, 30 is pretty bad.

 

[abstract alien]

Please don't do it on your phone then say you can't.

I used my phone and still got all of them right lol.

 

[Pudge]

I game on PC primarily, and I honestly tried to tell the difference, but I really can't 80% of the time. Strangely, I CAN tell the difference while watching live action video, but video games have always looked the same to me.

I do wear glasses, so it might just be me.

 

[Chobel]

11/11

ARMA III test was the hardest for me.

 

[ScionOfTheRisingSun]

No, don't care.

 

[Bl@de]

11/11

ARMA III test was the hardest for me.

Because no human beeing with a normal system knows what Arma actually looks like on 60fps ...

 

[Dark_castle]

8/11.

 

[DeadManWalking]

30 vs 60 is no brainer...to be honest. More fun would be 45 or some thing closer to 60.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

I got 6 out of 11. Racing I can, first person I can most of the time, everything else, I tend to gravitate to 30 fps.

 

[Zaku]

Can't run that test at work (computer is too slow, both run well below 30fps), but I can easily tell the difference when playing games.

 

[NumberThree]

Yup, 11/11. Almost instant for some, a bit slower for others. For example ARMA wasn't obvious at first but was when the camera turned.

 

[popsicle_sundays]

About as good as I can differentiate a male from a female by looking at their genitalia.....and I'm good 9 times out of 10.


EDIT - 11/11 in the test

 

[thiscoldblack]

Yes.

11/11

 

[Spacecowboy77]

11/11

I guess once you're used to it, it's really hard to NOT spot 60fps

 

[Stone Ocean]

Race the Sun was kinda hard since there's very little to differentiate in that game.

11/11 anyhoo
