If u couldn't feel the difference, than u will be ok with wi-fi connection.
I feel that spikes on wi-fi. May be author feel it too. I dunno. Just guessing.

I feel the difference between 1000 fps and 2000 fps. But most of ppl doesn't feel difference between 120 fps and 300 fps. So idk.

Anyway brain has a some sort of prediction. Normal physiological reaction lays between 120 ms and 150 ms. All that faster - is a brain prediction. It approved by many investigations. Anyway, lagspikes enforces brain prediction to fluctuate. Which is can't be registered by subject consciously, but can be registered by "feelings". I know that sounds awkward, but actually it is what it is. :/

Moreover it depends on how many wi-fi spots does see ur wi-fi transmitter. If it only one, only your wi-fi network, lagspikes will be less like 50x, then if ur device sees 150 wi-fi spots around. That caused by interference between signal on close channels. Wi-fi has 15 (idk how many exactly) channels. :roll:

what about my framespeed of 60 then? is that low?
i do not have problems with my ping ( always around 20-30)
does that mean my graphic card is just bad?

This just means that you probably enabled VSync.
It runs on 60 fps and often more smooth then, but results in a little input-lag.
