> I can't even imagine the leaps in skill I'd have to make before the difference between 50fps and 150fps had any impact on my performance Keep in mind fps are normally given in averages. You can go up to a wall and have nothing on screen and get an insane FPS or you can back out and take in all of the area with max view distance and see a lower FPS. Add in players/objects/explosions etc and your FPS dips and dives. Having an average of 50FPS means you likely ARE going to notice it at certain dips while at 150 average would be much less likely to get a perceivable fps dip
