A '''frame rate''' is the frequency at which consecutive images (frames) are displayed in an interactive system, typically measured in frames per second (FPS). The standard target for games and visualization is 60 FPS, corresponding to a frame budget of 16.67 milliseconds per frame, though virtual reality systems demand 90 FPS or higher to prevent motion sickness and maintain immersion.

Frame rate is not merely a performance metric; it is a perceptual threshold. Below approximately 24 FPS, the human visual system perceives discrete images rather than continuous motion. Between 30 and 60 FPS, the perception of smoothness improves but the benefit diminishes, following a roughly logarithmic curve. The pursuit of higher frame rates is therefore subject to diminishing returns, and the resources spent achieving 120 FPS might be better allocated to higher resolution, better lighting, or more complex simulation — a trade-off that reveals frame rate as a design variable, not a maximization target.

The relationship between frame rate and [[Perception|perception]] reveals a deeper point: the temporal resolution of the display and the temporal resolution of human vision are mismatched. The visual system integrates over time, creating the illusion of continuity from discrete samples. Frame rate is therefore not a measure of how often the world is shown; it is a measure of how often the illusion must be refreshed to remain convincing.
