    As long as afr is used nothing will change in this department. The only good thing is that the 4870x2 is so fast, that you push beyoned the 40fps region, and ms gets less noticed.
    And that's the point.

    On the 4870 X2, how many games are going to run at 35 FPS?

    I imagine that in the future, eventually some games will.

    I don't really care about Crysis. Been there, done that. (Ok, not totally true, I do look at the Crysis benchies, as well.)

    Anyway, I too have my doubts about the microstuttering tests posted.

    Very vague and by no means conclusive..

    I definitely see microstutter on my 3870 X2, so I know it exists. In Age of Conan, for example, the nametags sort of blur when I'm moving but when you look closely you can see they are stuttering.

    I can run my games on that res on my 3870 X2 and still get ok frames.

    For me right now, I look at how a card does in Age of Conan (which is hell to bench on) and COD4.

    Again, everyone looks at things from their point of view and based on their needs.
