Well, it depends... it depends really on too many things. I want the animation and gameplay to feel smooth, irrespective of the actual framerate. I've played titles that pump 30FPS without so much as a stutter, and then I have played titles pumping 90+ FPS that seems jerky and twitchy at times.
I have no skaam dropping graphics down to keep a title from becoming jerky, but framerate only goes that far.
I am all about framerates. I have always said that good animation and movement will beat good graphics for assisting with immersion. Look at Prince of Persia 1 and Flashback for instance, exquisite animation making the games still highly playable today.
Same for framerates, i see choppy movement Im done, its an eyesore.
Playing Arma 2 and I have all textures and anti-alias, anisotropic filtering all turned off but boosted the view distance and kept the res to 1080. Its an infinetily better, smoother playing experience comapred to better graphics that are jerky.
Balance for SP. All the way down for MP (or well mostly)....found that most are programmed in a way that FPS affects the responsiveness of the inputs....so even though its smooth at higher settings its still a competitive disadvantage.

Personally I just prefer smooth gameplay. Some may argue, but as long as I hit a "CONSISTENT" 30 fps I am happy. However, in more recent years I have been able to afford a PC that can sustain 60 fps for a lot of titles, and I often feel the Ultra High setting and Medium setting only have marginal graphical fidelity differences, but the performance difference can be vast. So, as much as I love 60 fps, I just need minimum of 30.
