So if I really want 60fps and I really don't want Chrome, is this as easy as changing my user agent?

That has to be the strangest looking game in a while, yeah, 60 fps was a little smoother.

It's pretty silly they artificially are limiting it to Google Chrome, which in part falls in line with Google owned YouTube. Videos are already recorded/encoded at 60fps out the box. No reason it can't run across platform Day 1 without Google intentionally putting more effort into not allowing it to.

Has Ubisoft commented on how weird 60fps videos look and feel yet?

 

[tom10167]

I notice almost no difference except when the cat is small and running. Nice to see they're trying to improve the user experience, though.

 

[sytom]

what is bandwidth of 1080p 60?

 

[Jaroslav Jandek]

Works in IE11 too - that's what I looking at it with right now...

 

[alexgarza]

great! now it'll stutter twice as long

 

[jerrspud]

I get the difference on paper just like how a record "should" should better then a CD, but I really can't see a difference. Perhaps if there as a comparison with real footage because my mind knows it's all fake (CGI) and does not look real?

 

[kapitalistas]

i always use different browsers watch quality videos,no offence,but for me just technicality.

 

[firefoxx04]

This is a very welcome change for me. I play tournament paintball with my Gopro mounted on my marker's barrel. The 'RAW' footage at 1280x720@60fps is excellent quality until I render it down to 30fps and then upload (where youtube cuts the bitrate even more).

I hope 60FPS will make my footage more fluid.

seems to work fine in IE. Video looks smooth, it's a shame that the game engine is so rough... not the best example of what high fps can do.

 

[twztechman]

As a PC gamer I can see a huge difference. The 30FPS was almost hard to watch.

 

[cwolf78]

Right, there is a huge difference between the parts that are smooth, but it's very apparent that the benchmark is not sustaining a solid 60 fps.

 

[Luis Melo]

It Works better on IE 11. Just tried and it was way better then on chrome.

 

[childofthekorn]

I was watching the videos side by side and couldn't see a difference. Then I noticed it defaulted to 360p. After changing both to 720p30/720p60 it was night and day. Great change, hopefully the other browsers support this as well. And seriously, wheres the AA on this video.

 

[oxxfatelostxxo]

My vision must suck.... I only noticed very minimal stutter on the 30fps one when they were both playing in sync with each other.,. O well.. as always I guess more is better whether we notice it or not =P

Only on Chrome.....

God, dubstep needs to die already.

A Call of Duty game with giant lolcats. :lol:

 

[JWoody]

Actually my icefox (64-Bit) runs 60fps videos fine...

 

[salgado18]

It is noticeable, and for games and live streaming, 60fps is very nice. But I think that, for movie-like video, 30 fps "feels" better. Might be the habit, but that's what I feel.

It's not a game, but a actual benchmarking tool. Too bad the free only does 720P.
