say for example battlefield 3 or modern warfare 3 that runs at 60 frames per second,
would I notice a difference in gameplay if I'm only getting 30fps to 40fps instead of 60fps?
 
Solution
In a shooter, yes. The difference will be noticeable in terms of overall smoothness. As long as fps doesn't drop below 30 you shouldn't notice any lag though.

Like everyone said, anything above 30 fps is good. Game will run smoothly without any hints of lag. Battlefield 3 will be a more graphics intense game. Most COD games tend to play on high FPS, which is not a bad thing at all, especially since the graphics are nice too.
