Microstuttering tests on ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2

CRYSIS!

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.

just run current games at 1920x1200 @ 4aa and your already in the 60s-70s, next gen games will push this into the 40s. Tought the ammount of console ports will increase, so even a snigel 4870/280gtx will be enough.

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.
