But nice try though, maybe now you understand the scope of my post and why the person I addressed it to understood while you did not.
If you just want as much frames as possible (even if the monitor isn't able to show half of those frames or even less) then you are of course right, but I think that this is important to inform about that. I have seen references to the legion test on other forums where people thinks that they need to buy a faster CPU for these fast video cards and that is very wrong.

If you just want something to run as fast as possible there will always be some part in the system that holds back the max performance.
