 What FPS can a human eye see? FPS is one of the most important things when it comes to video and cameras or just gaming and of course it's gotten realer and realer over the years. So this makes me question. Do you need to spend that much money on a 240Hz display if you don't even notice the extra frames? Well studies of this topic vary a lot but most of these come in a range of 200 to a thousand FPS in the human eye. But here's the thing these studies are really hard to conduct and a lot are probably inaccurate because our brains do not work like how GPUs or cameras work which is why a lot of these studies are different. The human brain can process a thousand FPS but that really never happens and it rarely translates to the eye. It really depends on a lot of things and here are some examples. Most people can detect a huge difference between 30 and 60 FPS because of how choppy 30 is. It feels like you skip frames or lagging. 60 FPS feels pretty smooth and it's a huge jump from 30. After 60 is really not that easy to notice unless you put them side by side. I used to play on 60 FPS for two years and once I switched to 144 it made a huge difference. Someone who never used a 60 FPS monitor or started playing on 144 or 240 hertz would never appreciate how smooth it really is until you go back to 60. So how much FPS can the human eye see depends on the person. Another reason that many results are inaccurate is because we don't have that much tech more than 300 FPS right now. The max is probably 300 FPS for the human eye anyways because once Nvidia released their 300 hertz monitor pro CSGO gamers tried it and they barely noticed any difference between 240 and 300. Studies that showed the average person doesn't think they can see more than 255 FPS. Another factor is when they try to measure the FPS of the human eye was how the images process in the brain. You have IRL motion blur because you move your head so fast like how you would aim in a first person shooter. The brain makes the image feel more responsive rather than the eyes slowly moving towards the target like how you would aim in a game. So in conclusion I believe that the human eye can see like infinite FPS. The only thing holding it back is just diminishing returns around 300 to 400 FPS. But how do you know how much FPS you can see? Well it depends on how focused you are on it. If you play a ton of games chances are you will notice high FPS easily until you put one side by side. Someone new to FPS would think that 60 FPS is as smooth as it can be. So buy a screen that has at least 60 FPS and know more than 300 unless you are like a pro gamer which you can do anything you want I guess and just spec out.
