Comfortable FPS?

[Artlav]

What FPS do you averagely consider comfortably playable in Orbiter?
That is, if you select between adding more nice graphics and having a good framerate, which framerate will you stop at?

Telling what GPU do you have will be nice too.

I picked 40-50, though in FSX I settle for 25-30.

System is 3.4GHz duel core, 4GB ram, and EVGA 250 GTS/1GB video card.

 

[Dambuster]

40-50 FPS. I've got a Pentium 4, 4GB RAM, and a 512MB "ATI Radeon HD 3650 AGP"

I like to have a FPS of higher then 50 because there's always that splinter in the back of my mind that's reminding me that accuracy is higher if FPS is higher.

Usually I'll only briefly look at an external view during ascent or interplanetary travel.

40-50 FPS

Geforce 9500 GT 512MB

For me 30-40 FPS is good enough. Computer H/W is: Intel Core 2 Quad @2.4 GHz, 3 GB RAM, 512 MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT.

FPS in orbiter is 60, planet view goes down to 45-50.

However FSX is about 15-20. That makes it flyable but still not great.

For Orbiter I can live with between 20 and 30 as long as it's smooth and reasonably accurate. With FSX I have it limited to 19.

60 FPS, i only have a 60Hz monitor so anything more is waisted computing power.

I usually consider 30 the cutoff between "questionable" and "acceptable"; I figure if I'm happy with my TV @ 30 FPS, that's good enough for PC games.

PC1 = Dell Dimension E521, XP/SP2, dual core 2.4 GHz CPU, motherboard's built-in video, ~70 FPS

PC2 = Home built, Windows 7, quad core 2.3 GHz CPU, NVidia GTX 260+, ~30 FPS with VistaBoost.

 

[Nemoricus]

Twenty is about the minimum for playable. Thirty or more is better.

 

[Dig Gil]

I usually have 24-30 FPS in spite of I've noticed higher values once or twice. I' happy with that because is what television have too.
