Are you aware that 25 fps vs 120 fps feels smoother?

Being capped at 60 FPS is enough for me.

The ZOTAC AMPs are nice overclocks, they're usually higher than other stock overclocks and run pretty stable as well. I got a ZOTAC AMP GTX 460 a while back overclocked from, between 700 - 800 (not sure) to 1024 which I still use today and holds up very nicely. Only problem is that it runs loud and hot. When I push the card, with say Battlefield, o boy does it push back getting up to about 90 C with full fans! Im pretty sure it might have just been becuase it was a Fermi card (which are known for being loud, hot monsters) as opposed to the fact that it was overclocked, but the oc didnt help.

Ive seen some good gigabyte cards with 2, some even 3, fans which will definitely help when uping the voltage. but the Kepler cards run cooler and quieter than older cards so u may not even need that many fans. msi has some good stock overclocks as well. thumb.gif

Are you aware that your eyes can only see 25ish frame per seconds? rolleyes.gif

Sorry. I just upgraded to a 120hz monitor and can tell a big difference from 60fps to 100+ now. There's a reason a 24p movie looks better on a 240hz TV as opposed to a 30hz TV.

Kind of Off Topic but, they do make 240 hz TVs now?
I was having a similar conversation with my father the other day, he wanted to buy a 120 Hz television, telling that hockey looked way smoother with 120 frame compared to 60. Of course I failed miserably to prove him wrong and he ended up buying it tongue.gif

An ex of mine bought a 240 Hz Toshiba HDTV a little over 2 years ago. It was alright looking. The thing they don't tell you is that it only accepts a 60 Hz signal like any other HDTV, and the rest of the frames are just interpolated. Meaning the TV creates frames in between source frames to "smooth" the picture.

in regards to the 25 fps comments - Doctor here, and it is true that about 20-25 fps is required for smooth visual processing, however the human eye can see much more than 25 "fps"
post #28 of 29
This is in regards to BF3:

I have a GTX 670 and without an OC it won't achieve 120fps constantly with everything low/off at 1080p. It goes anywhere from 90-120. I'm going to be overclocking my 670 tonight and if I remember I'll post the difference here in FPS (most OCs I've seen increase performance by about 10-15%?) which should get me extremely close to 120fps.

Yes i'm serious. The reason why we notice a difference between 30 and, let's say, 9001, is that our eyes isnt ''synced'' to the frame that we see. Having a high FPS in game reduce the chance that the image that your eye record is a slutter (not sure on how to explain that. If you dont get what i'm trying to say i'll try to explain in another way).

Following this logic, the more frame the better, but at some point i'm quite positive that the chances that we see a slutter and his duration (the more frame we have, the shorter the duration of the slutter will be) will be too small for us to really notice it.

What the crap
