Lowest fps you can tolerate?

[Prinzip]

My whole life I was equipped with a below average rig, so my tolerance is around 10-15 fps. Anything below that and I give up.

Ye - depends on the game. Usually i´d say 40, or even 60 - but in some i might find 30 okay.

Imho higher fps (100+) are easier on the eyes - when gaming 16 hours straight.

But as bad as too low fps are micro-stutters every now and then, and capping the fps can sometimes solve it - or lead to more consistent fps. I wouldn´t cap lower than 45 though - and if it´s about some setting to keep a certain min fps - i´d also choose 45 - while i´d keep some gap between them when i would set both...

The question is heavily genre dependable, so.. The answer is about 5 FPS.
Yes, you've got me. I was thinking of a visual novel with purely reading elements.

of course this is outside of occasionall drops or exceptions where games where made specifically to be playable at a lower framerates like many old consoles games like star fox on the snes.

This. When i played on my laptop with old radeon 535 gpu 720p 25 fps was quite good, but lower than that your'e screwed, basically around ~30 fps is minimun, but that depends on game, try playing cs2 on 30fps

Like 24

If it falls below a feature film I'm out.

EDIT: Also, it depends heavily on the genre of game.

~25, like several PS1 games run

Some games would be unplayable at this framerate, though, so it depends ofc.

Battlefield 20-42 fps was cool xD and somehow worked. while 20 fps was already "stucky", 25 fps sorta worked . . .

it was clearly way better to play by constant 25~ fps, rather than to gain any fps drops/lags which is catastrophic within that fps range . . .

I can handle 15 fps as well once I adjust to it. 10 Fps seems like a bit of a hard limit for me, personally. Especially in fast-paced FPS shooters. I did play Insurgency Sandstorm at 10 fps for a time, but that was on co-op, where the AI is low-key brain dead.
