At 60 FPS, the frame time is 16.6ms, requiring massive GPU power. At 30 FPS, the frame time is 33.3ms, which often feels choppy. 40 FPS sits at 25.0ms—which is mathematically right in the exact middle of 16.6ms and 33.3ms in time budget, providing smooth motion while cutting GPU power draw by ~30%.
The difference between 60Hz (16.6ms) and 40Hz (25.0ms) is only 8.4 milliseconds of input lag. For single-player RPGs, racing games, and action adventures, this difference is practically imperceptible to human reaction times.
