11/11

 

[Curious_George]

10/11 I got the turtle game wrong (I blame it on the darkness of the scene in the turtle game). Also, the racing games and fps were the two that stood out as most easily identifiable. I can't stand to play either genre at sub 60 fps. 60 fps should really be the standard for racing games (everything just feels slower at 30).

 

[pottuvoi]

11/11.
Also the test is quite crappy as they waste good area of screen.
Should be possible to see difference on 60 and 120 as well.. (120/240 would be quite hard I imagine.)

 

[Om3ga]

Finished the test in less than a minute, probably even less than 30 secs. All except for 3 of them I could tell within a second if it was 60fps. I still got 11/11, but the Sun and Ninja Turtles one took a bit longer.

Though I'm willing to play games at lower framerates I can tell the difference. I wonder if they have a 60fps vs 120fps test.

 

[Zolbrod]

11/11

Took me only 5 seconds per clip in most cases, except for the one in the fighter plane which took me considerably longer.

It really is astoundingly obvious.

 

[Fortinbras]

11/11 most were instantaneous. It's such a noticeable difference.

10/11 were instantaneous for me. I don't know why but ARMA II got me. I looked at the video for five minutes and still couldn't tell the difference so I just clicked one.

 

[barit]

Yes everytime when i switch from Destiny to TLOU:R

It's like day and night

 

[Jamix012]

7/11

But in reality a few of those were lucky. I could tell the difference in about 3-4 of them and guessed the others.

 

[Madness]

11/11 because you can clearly tell which one is running smoother or has that soap opera effect in a sense.

But this really means nothing because the 30 fps versions look and play just as great. You can only really tell side by side, but by itself it'll be much harder.

 

[dorkkaos]

Easy for me to tell 60 vs 30. It's harder (for me) to tell the difference between 1440 and 1080 lol

11/11

 

[ozmozz]

6/11.
Does that answer your question?

 

[VFX_Veteran]

Very easy to tell 60FPS.. it's just a LOT smoother.

 

[b1tcrusher]

11/11 - easy!

 

[RVinP]

The comparison needs to be done with two screens (with either the video or the games running full screens), the difference between 30vs60 FPS can be clearly made out on a larger footprint.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

11/11 but the difference in most of these wasn't huge-just looked slightly smoother.

 

[Theognosis]

Yes, because I was spoiled by the arcades in the 90's.

 

[Kageshinzo]

That was easy, in spite of my crappy Internet connection.

Neither of those things are true.

 

[Pyccko]

10/11 for me. I slipped up on the TMNT one. Should have probably watched it more than once, hahah.

 

[Kageshinzo]

I'm sort of surprised at people saying that the Turtles took them a lot of time to see the difference. I thought that was one of the most obvious ones, personally. For me, the one that took a bit longer than usual was Max Payne.

 

[SapientWolf]

11/11

Only takes me few seconds to tell. Racing the sun was the only one that froze me for a bit. I've learned that the larger your viewing angle the higher the framerate you need for perceptually smooth motion.

 

[MattKeil]

Max Payne was definitely the toughest, and really the only one I had to look at for any length of time. Not sure why that is.

Yeah, I just went through it again and got 11/11. Not sure why I messed up the TMNT the first time. It only took like 2 seconds to recognize it the second time through. Guess my mind must have been wandering or something. OH WELL

 

[Lego Boss]

8/11. I have to admit that it's never bothered me in the past and I think when you've grown up playing games that had overlays on them, the current graphics are like utopia achieved.

That's just my nostalgia though . . .

 

[MRMagoo]

I can easily tell the difference........but I am also not fussed which I get as long as its stable.

 

[shockdude]

11/11 for me. The third person games were tricky, and I can see how someone could say that third person games are fine at 30FPS.

Speak for yourself, it's damn obvious the difference there is to me and most other people even without comparisons. Only a few odd games would be a problem and I suspect the hardest are those with unlocked fps and triple syncing, and even then it's probably a game that gets up to 40-ish and throws you off for being somewhere in between.

 

[Aarglefarg]

I got 9 right, and it took a while of looking at them. I often can't notice in these video comparisons.

 

[Neo Dark]

Was doing it on Firefox at first at got points where both sides had a few drop in fps. Then remembered that Firefox doesn't work so well with this stuff. Definitely a lot easier to tell in chrome. It's kind of hard to tell on a small video like that though but I still managed to get a 10/11. Definitely easier to tell on racing games.

 

[BigTnaples]

Of course.


Play Destiny for hours on end then pop in Metro Redux.

 

[TheDanger]

9/11

I got TMNT and somehing else I don't remember wrong.

 

[Orin GA]

For me its harder to tell from screenshots, but when I am actually playing the game I can tell. My old mother board VRM's would heat up something fierce which caused throttling in my system. The FPS would drop to around 30 fps. Huge difference.

 

[Chastten]

I'm pretty sure I must be going blind as I didn't see any difference in even the first vid.

I can notice when something drops to (or is) under 30ish but anything over 30 and I'm golden.

 

[Bookman]

damn, it seems like I can not actually see the difference
What does that mean? Should I go to the optician or is it my peabrain?

 

[ColEx]

Got 11/11, almost got caught out on the Arma II helicopter clip, but then i noticed the blades were moving smoother in the 60fps compared to the 30fps one. Everything else looked identical on that clip.

 

[Ian]

7/11

So I guess the answer to your question, OP, is sometimes. I'm a member of the don't care about frame rate club anyway so whatevs.

 

[undu]

Your Score: 11/11

Some games, like portal took me less than a a second to guess, other, like arma 2 took a while because of the lack of contrast in the trees and the relative lack of sudden movements, but the difference is still there.

 

[Jakoozie89]

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

So, the games you play don't have movement in them?

I would argue the opposite. Throwing IQ at everything will look good in PR stills and screenshots. But when actually playing the game, framerate is easily more important than any visual effect.

I covered one of the two screens and still were able to get an 11/11 easily.

 

[Messofanego]

The website doesn't exist anymore

Is there any other 30vs60fps test website? I already got 11/11 on this, but asking for future purposes.

30vs60.com edit: I guess this isn't a test, they tell you which is which.
Or just google "30vs60fps test".

Can barely notice the difference side by side, sure would fail every test where it is not.

 

[DCDW]

I can't call myself an expert, but I'm calling schenanigans on that test. Both videos are the same filesize. How can they both be the same size when one video should have over twice the frames in the video?

Edit: Ok the 60 fps one is slightly larger in file size, but it still seems a little off.

Googled, didn't find any test like this.
