googled it

The human eye processes about 20 frames per second, but can go as high as 60 when in panic.

nothing more to say i guess

edit: okay maybe i need. 60 seconds probaply good for action games since mainly being able to get shot is a panic situation even in a game.

I can look at 0.5 frames per second! (if its a comic, not a game)

That is nonsense.

1) the eye is viewing continuously, only the visual center of the brain has a refresh rate
2) panic does influence the processing method of an image (what cues are scanned for), but does not increase the "framerate"

The human eye does not see FPS, but it does infact notice the difference between different levels of FPS.

Here! Have this article/test!

okay it might be partly nonsence what i said.
i did some more research and found something more reaonable.
the cells in your eye can catch up to a certain amount of frames per second.
this for the simple reason that it is a chemical reaction that takes time.
the brain on the other hand can combine all those cell information into a smooth image.
while one cell would maybe give information ten times every 1 second 10 fps.
the eye in a whole gives constantly information to the brain due to the cells not being "alligned" (if thats the proper word).
Therefor the whole eye will give a much higher fps than one cell.

I do actually notice a difference between the 30 and 60 fps animations, but not enough of one to matter to me at least.

Indeed there is a significant difference, which would be pretty important in games that require high levels of reactions.

One thing to note is that while the brain operates continuously, it has very high latency. Most young people have a minimum reaction time of about 200 ms to any stimulus - senses to brain to decision to pulse travel time to body. Gets longer with age too .

Here's a fun online tester: http://www.humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime/index.php

Unfortunately I think the delay time is always the same, so your very first click is probably the most telling.

Definitely not the same delay each time, my best score out of 4 tries was 203, and one took way too long and threw me off after I started expecting at least a similar delay lol
