frames per second
Video fluidity measurement
Frames per second is a measure of how many individual images display in one second of video or animation, abbreviated fps.
Higher rates produce smoother motion: film runs at 24 fps, television at 30, and video games often target 60 or higher.
The game struggles to maintain sixty frames per second on older hardware.
