These are extremely low sys spec requirements, really. You can use the Viewer with far less, given your CPU is no less than a quad core and your GPU is no Intel HD card or older than the Nvidia GTX series. The recommended hardware is almost my own hardware, which is why it's recommended, i know that this hardware CAN run at these framerates (not that it necessarily will at all times, see above). Don't expect these framerates everywhere. FPS in SL are highly unstable and fluctuate all the time depending on the level of optimization of your own avatar as well as others and the surroundings. Disabling Motion Blur might net you a good decent FPS gain even with no one around.
They were made with 99% stock settings just like the Viewer is right out of the box, minus Motion Blur. Everything beyond 60 FPS is just take the FPS values with a grain of salt, they are from my own hardware and from a place that isn't busy nor filled with the usual interior crap you'd expect. 15 FPS is on the verge of annoying, 20-25 FPS are okay but "slow", 30 FPS is what most people consider a relatively smooth experience, 45 FPS is where its really smooth and 60 FPS is a perfectly smooth picture to the human eye. took off my Avatar, thats even 20 fps more than the maximum i ever managed to get.

The difference between having 15,20,25,30,45 and 60 FPS is big. Previous Black Dragon Viewer - Update 2.5 - Delta 2 Visible Dragon. Given you got a decent CPU you should be able to get much more FPS if your surroundings aren't a don't want to go too much into detail but the gist of it is, the server framerate is irrelevant to your own clientside framerate. Those values came from my place which is the place shown in the gfycat loop. Framerate is highly dependent on your surroundings and your own Avatar.
