177190 2003-09-23 04:55:00 I used 3D Mark 2003 to test. I mate has a Power Colour Radeon 9800 PRO and I just stuck that into my machine. There was a differance of 30 or 40 points I think, no big w33t JamesStewart (874)
177191 2003-09-23 04:56:00 But I have to say, ATI 9800 PRO cards are STILL!!! l33t over Nvidia cards :P JamesStewart (874)
177192 2003-09-23 04:59:00 Sorry for all the extra posts but I keep thinking of stuff. Can any one tell me why the hell it matters if card (a) can get 123 fps on a game and card (b) can only get 89 fps on the same game. The human eye only sees at 32~33 fps..... :| just a thought JamesStewart (874)
177193 2003-09-23 05:06:00 The human eye can see far more then 35fps,if it couldn't then we wouldn't be able to see objects in motion,Snowflakes and aircraft would be invisible.

I can't explain further but i did get the above quote from a study done a few years ago,they deduced that the human eye could condition itself to tell the difference even when fps rose over 100fps.

Ill see if i can track down the article but it was a few years ago that i chanced upon it,chances are slim.

As to the 89 vs 139 fps,that is why i have a ti4200 rather then an ati card....

177194 2003-09-23 05:09:00 Umm, it is proven that ATI are making WAY better cards than the Ti and even the FX serise, so sorry, your loss! JamesStewart (874)
177195 2003-09-23 05:12:00 heh...my loss?

lmao.

not once did i say the nvidia cards are better,i was saying that 89fps is better for me then then spending an extra 500 dollars to get the exact same game running at an extra 50fps.

My geforce will do me for a couple more years by my reckoning.

And i wouldn't touch an fx with a 160 foot stick.

177196 2003-09-23 05:17:00 well,as luck would have it,i found the article.Its in 2 pieces and a good read for any one interested in the subject.

and a snippit...

The overwhelming solution to a more realistic game play, or computer video has been to push the human eye past the misconception of only being able to perceive 30 FPS. Pushing the Human Eye past 30 FPS to 60 FPS and even 120 FPS is possible, ask the video card manufacturers, an eye doctor, or a Physiologist. We as humans CAN and DO see more than 60 frames a second.

177197 2003-09-23 07:56:00 Now I just need some money. I was looking at a Geforce 4 Ti 4200, or a MSI FX 5600 Ultra.

Problem is, I only have an Athlon Xp 2000, with 256mb ram. Current graphics is Geforce 2 mx 400.

Any point in upgrading?

I want to be able to run the new Need for Speed Underground, because it looks cool as(for me).
