Enthusiasts are partly to blame because all they bang on about is FPS FPS FPS so that's all your going to get from reviews.
If you were to just look at the minimum and average fps then we don't find about anything about the smoothness that is correct. But Fraps gives us sub millisecond accuracy so we can get a very accurate picture of what is happening which will show us how smooth something is. Unfortunately you don't see such views very often in reviews.
