Unfortunately, games are hardly the only offenders. When I worked in medical imaging (circa mid 90's), there was a requirement to render cineloops at 66fps regardless of image size, pixel depth or 2D vs 3D processing. There were no 3-D GPUs and SIMD CPUs of the day (UltraSparc, Pentium MMX, etc.) were not equal to many of the imaging tasks. We had to use custom FPGA based hardware to achieve the required frame rates at a (halfway) reasonable (to the user) cost. AFAIA, medical cineloops still are required to be rendered at 66fps. Doesn't matter that 40fps is faster than almost any human can see. George
