The 460 isn't the greatest card ever, it's a really good card that's a great value right now, but so is the 6850, and in 6 months the 560ti will cost what a 460 cost now and someone will be saying it's the best card ever.

For this particular game, TWO GTX 460s, and the required motherboard and PSU to run and SLI setup right now probably is the cheapest way to max the game out in HD with playable frame rates. One GTX 460 and you'll be looking at frame rates in the teens, that's from experience, I have both a GTX 460 and SLI GTX 465s.
 


That's Crysis 1, not Crysis 2.

While 30 FPS may be playable, it makes me motion sick. To me, playable is 40+. If it rarely drops into the 30's, I can manage, but if it sits there for a prolonged period of time, I'll get sick and maybe a headache.
 

That's what I'm talking about. 30 fps is so 2008.
 
I'm not trying to troll and it's a manner of opinion, But. Supposedly test done and everything that the human eye cannot see past 30 fps. You may feel motion sick and dizzy, but that's probably because of a different reason. The problem with 30fps is that if it dips... And then you may get unwanted drops down to the 20's. But i've seen soo many videos of people playing it in the 30's and 40's with the 460 just by it's self. It's a great card if you're on a budget and if you think about it. If you ever wanted to run it in sli later on, to get better res and fps. It would be cheaper; so all in all it's all a matter of opinion.
 
Sure the human eye and our perception might be tricked into thinking 30 frames = smooth motion. The human brain is not limited in the same way. Things outside of television are not processed this way (ie IRL) because there are no gaps in the frames. Your brain takes in all the information. This is part of the reason for the epilepsy warnings on video gaming consoles. Your brain actually picks up all the gaps, too (similar to a strobe). People who are more photosensitive for one reason or another might actually experience dizziness or "motion" sickness.

Many people have even found perceivable differences when crossing the 60Hz barrier after they've gotten a 120Hz monitor.
 

didn't notice that... well i got the HD 6950, i am gonna try it today and see how the performance looks like when playing @ 1920 × 1280 with 8x AA
 
what i really think is that you can't know if your FPS in a game is running high or low without "fraps"
because i think that the human eye can only catch 30 frame per second, any thing higher than 30 will be unnoticeable, i don't know if you agree with me.. but there is games you feel that it has more dynamic motion than others.. like modern warfare 2 and dirt 3.. the graphics are so smooth and flexible and nice 😀

and (refresh rate ..and .. "VSync" ..and triple buffering .. etc ) it all so complicated :pfff:

SOME ONE EXPLANE IT .. :fou:
 
@all those of you who say 30 fps is unplayable.I myself play games like witcher 2,crysis 2 with frame rates in 30s and they are very well playable.Sure,there are lags to around 27-28 fps at times but its nothing game breaking.(not game breaking enough to make me buy a gtx 590 for constant 60 fps :lol: )
In fact if you read hardware heaven reviews this is what they say in testing methodology of every card

"One of the most important aspects of enjoying a game is minimum frame rates which can have the greatest impact on the gaming experience. Due to this we also include a separate graph which details the framerates every second during a level for each of the tested games. This framerate graph allows us to show you how stable the framerates are in on a product and how often they rise towards the maximum or fall to the minimum level. We have also incorporated a 'red line' at the 25 frame per second mark to show the 'cut off' point that most people find acceptable - if you see the current frame rate line drop below this then you can expect the game to become choppy."

I completely agree with the 25 fps mark as I find games to be unplayable below that point :)
 

i agree with you about the red line , but what we trying to know that : can we notice the deference between playing at 30 fps and 100 fps .. can my eyes notice the deference ?
 

yes you will notice as long as your monitor has a refresh rate of 120hz. if your monitor is 60hz then you wont see any difference past 60.
 

youre being so specific its like beating a dead horse now, thats all im trying to say. everyone understands what they are talking about just because the "correct terminology" wasnt used, you feel the need to pick apart what people are saying and not speak on the subject at hand
 

yes you can see a difference but only till 60 fps.Any more fps is just for bragging about you pc's potential.From what I could make of of 30fps vs 60 fps,the game runs "faster" under 60 fps.For example in games like crysis 2 at 60 fps your gun will seem to reload faster then at 30 fps.This can also be a bad thing though.At 60 fps everything becomes so fast paced that you may dire frequently on hardest difficulty.Believe me I am on rank 47 in crysis 2 multiplayer and I actually come in the bottom rankings when playing at 60 fps and a constant top 3 scorer when playing at 25-50 fps :lol: .This in itself proves that even in multiplayer 30-40 fps is sufficient.Here is another example of fps rating from guru3d
<30 FPS
very limited gameplay

30-40 FPS
average yet very playable

40-60 FPS
good gameplay

>60 FPS
best possible gameplay


So if a graphics card barely manages less than 30 FPS, then the game is not very playable, we want to avoid that at all cost.
With 30 FPS up-to roughly 40 FPS you'll be very able to play the game with perhaps a tiny stutter at certain graphically intensive parts. Overall a very enjoyable experience. Match the best possible resolution to this result and you'll have the best possible rendering quality versus resolution, hey you want both of them to be as high as possible.
When a graphics card is doing 60 FPS on average or higher then you can rest assured that the game will likely play extremely smoothly at every point in the game, turn on every possible in-game IQ setting.
Over 100 FPS? You either have a MONSTER graphics card or a very old game.
 


Maybe it's your extra 120 pixel height, or maybe that mine are OCed, but at 1080p with two 5850s I'm seeing minimum of 40, mostly around 60-70. I did the little highway level last night and met up with the scientist guy, pretty close to the start of the game. I have everything set to Ultra (except blur at low because I hate a lot of blur).

I was also recording (FRAPS set to full size, 50FPS cap) a few days ago and managed to hold around 30-40 in that first level and when I went into the subway it was a solid 50.

So, yeah, I think you can get a lot more performance out of your 5850s. Mine are at 870/1200 on stock voltage.
 


You don't need a 590. Refer to my previous post ^

Also, Metro 2033 is more demanding than Crysis 2 at highest settings. I play Metro at Very High, DX11, Tesslation on, etc. With DOF and 4xMSAA on I can only pull a max of around 30FPS, but turn DOF off (OR keep DOF on and go to AAA) and I'm in the 40-50s.

For a single card, a 480, 570, 580, 6950 (OC), or 6970 should suffice for max settings (or close to). My two 5850s are roughly equal to 580 performance.

But going with a pair of 560 Tis/6950s for <$600 is a much smarter way to go than a 590/6990. Even a pair of 6870s, 560s, or 550Tis should be close to as fast as my setup. Most dual GPU cards cost more than they're worth.
 
Read through this for insight about how sensitive the human eye is. http://www.100fps.com/how_many_frames_can_humans_see.htm

As for simulator sickness: http://www.siggraph.org/education/materials/HyperVis/virtual.env/percept.iss/simulate.htm
For me, this simulator sickness occurs most severely when I have FPS below 40 in a first person or over the shoulder view. I'm not 100% sure if it's the actual FPS, or if it's the delay in responsiveness that causes it. Maybe both. Lower FPS also comes with lower responsiveness in a game.

To see if you can see a difference at 30 FPS and 120 FPS, you can attempt playing a game like Crysis at high FPS, and try spinning around fast. You'll notice it becomes very choppy if motion blur is turned off. If you lower the settings so you gain 60+ FPS and do the same, it becomes smoother. With 120hz monitor, it's much smoother yet.
