The first number is your FPS, the second your G_FPS

ya 2nd is your display rate or to be precise, the FPS you usually see in other games. The first is your ingame speed which's usually fixed in other games. On a side note, 47 G_FPS is a bit high, I suggest 20-25.

the game has to pause at certain intervals and spend time to process rendering. Thus high G_FPS decrease FPS.

Also, because the human brain does not process more than 24 images per second, so you won't see much difference, if at all, at settings above that.
The G_FPS number means how often the graphical output of the game is redrawn per second.

Absolute nonsense - watch a 24fps video and a 60fps video and the difference will be as clear as day.
