[citation][nom]eklipz330[/nom]i notice up until about 100hz, like most normal people. if you can't see past 24hz, i feel bad for you.[/citation]
you ever put active shutter 3d glasses on?
i can see the refresh rate on those things...
i need 120 hz versions before i buy into them.
[citation][nom]sacre[/nom]1000 dollars for a graphics card thats a tiny bit better than a 680, which is half the price?Whereas a console plays all of todays games which costs 250 bucks?I can see why people buy consoles. I hate consoles, but they make sense unfortunately. I love PC far too much to switch. The ability to customize the game, the graphics, etc.. have a nice monitor, a FOV of 90, mouse+keyboard is unbeatable.. its just too awesome.[/citation]
drop a 250$ GPU in a computer, (we all have computers, just not the gpu portion) and it will kick the consoles collective butts.
[citation][nom]bystander[/nom]Well, a 690 is about 70%-80% faster than a 680. It is a bit more than a tiny improvement, but the thing is, PC's let you decide how good the game will look. If high end hardware, you can go way beyond a console, or with a cheap PC, you will get console level quality.[/citation]
he was thinking the 670 and 680, the 690 is a sli card.
i dont think outside of intergrated you can buy a pc with console level graphics. [citation][nom]billgatez[/nom]Why stick with 30 FPS? unless they plan to stick some (sanction avoiding change) GPU in there there no excuse not to run at 60FPS[/citation]
ok. lets say that you can do 5 million pollys, with 8aa for 60fps
but you could add in some more lighting effects, some more filters, and some amount of ray tracing for 30fps.
they aren't using crappy gpus, they are pushing more than they should onto the gpu.
i game at 1920x1080 windowed and 1920x1200 fullscreen.
i dont notice shadows when the action is fast paced, so i set it to minimum
i dont notice most shadow effects, like ssao unless its deus ex level, or if its pointed out to me (witcher 2) so i turn that effect off too. water effects, again, unless im staring at the pretty water, i dont see it, so i turn it off, and with new games, and high detail models i dont notice aliasing, so i turn aa off most the time too.
i game on a 5770 right now. even if i had a 7870 i would still probably turn those effects down just so i have a buffer so i never go under 60fps.
