Crysis @ 8xaa very high with good framerate

Not when the game has motion blur too, as that's exactly how movies are rendered.

A movie playing consistently at the same framerate will still look far smoother than a game jumping about as it usually does surely.

Crysis does have a brilliant knack of making a slower framerate feel acceptable though.. Just as well too!

Again wrong. Tearing is when there's no synchronization between when the front and back buffers are swapped on the video card and when the screen starts a vertical retrace. With v-sync off the game will swap the buffers as soon as a frame is rendered meaning you get part of one frame and part of the next sent to the monitor. Seriously you can get tearing at any framerate.

Give this man a drink, he is absolutely correct. Tearing is annoying and why anyone would ever want to have Vsync off is beyond me :D

Oh the infinate high fps squad.
Play what you think is smooth. I've been there before on my 6800GS, and must admit I prefer detail far above fps, imo 25 fps + maxed > 40 fps medium-low. Played through a lot of major games ( bioschock, GoW, MoH:A, CoD4 all high but on low fps and reso and it's fine).
If the guy can live with 22 fps I believe him, movies are that fps ( the ones I dl anyways) too and with some proper blur it's perfectly playable.
Sure if may feel jumpy in some games, eg. in SA it's very stuttery with the frame limiter on and no blur ( SA: MP ) but with motion blur its good.


As for crt/tft, I must say I prefer the TFT, owning & using both, however for games as Crysis, a CRT is superb as lower res isn´t all that bad. Tearing never really bothered me and the only thing I hate about my tft is the native res thing and the changing brightness on TN panels when moving up and down.

Yeah I can live with 22 fps - it's obviously the motion-blur that helps . If I took motion-blur off it would just be too jerky looking.

I got onto a later level of the game where you have to get to a school and I had to lower the AA to 4x otherwise it was just jerky - however it's still looking very good.

I would say it must be cos of the CRT - I can understand why LCDs wouldn't be so good at lower res.

Like I say - defo 22fps works for me on Crysis - and at the settings I have it on looks the best so far for my system.

Crysis is smooth at anything above 25, thought this was a pretty widespread belief?

Unlike most games, Crysis at 25+ feels pretty damn smooth and 100% playable.

i agree with that i played it at 1024x768 with every setting set to medium apart from af and aa and it was more than playable :)

my rig is in major need of a upgrade as well.

A very strange thing I notice about Crysis, is that when I had 8800GT/GTS anything below 30 was noticeable and horrible... however, when I played on a 3850 and it went below 30 it was bearable (up to a point obviously).

Plus, DX10 on the 3850 in DX10 was played at the same settigns as DX9 on the GT, and felt just as smooth....

I found that a low framerate with Vista was unresponsive and laggy but with XP with the same framerate it felt much smoother.
 
Its probably got more to do with the minimum framerate thats being displayed, rarther than the average that 9/10 the game/framerate monitors, tell you.
So XP might have had the same average framerate as Vista, but its lowest framerate was higher.
If that makes sense. :p.
