The Spin off Smoothness Thread

[Hornet331]

Its not about better..its about smoother & a constant frame rate is smoother than a highly fluctuating one & we are not taking about the possible side effect of obtaining smooth fps through cap or sync.

But its what happens, just look at the max/min fps for Phenom/C2, they are sometimes huge on the C2 and not as high on the Phenom. Meaning that Phenom is limiting the graphics card eralier then a C2.

If smoothness in games steams from that huge discrepancies between max and min fps, then its possible to optain the same smoothness on both systems with a simple checkbox and all that discussion was pointless.

Cause you optain exactly that, a smooth constant fps distribution, if you limit the fps to a ceratin maximum.

And now you are going to jump into your ridiculous taste example in an attempt to derail the thread even more. You really don't have a clue do you? Let me refresh your memory. WE DO NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT SUBJECTIVE THINGS THAT CAN NOT BE MEASURED. Does that help you? (I'm sure it didn't help because you have shown the concept is beyond your comprehension.)

No, let me help you,
You try to quantify something that is in the so called "eye of the beholder" aka subjective preception.

Why do you think theres such a huge debate about what fps rate is visible to the human eye or can be seen etc. and what not...
This is exactly the same.

Again what data do you want to use, that isn't already there?

We have fps (outlines over time) max/min avg. yet they give no clue about whats smoother and whats not.

Just look at the graphs accord99 linked to, according to some theories in this thread the INTEL quadcore should be smoother then then the AMD quad.

The only thing so far you have suggested so far is to run a benchmark and then run several other activities in the background and see who does better.
That dont addresses the so called smoothness, this adresses the multitasking capabilities of a system.

Cause the thing thats always said about smoothness in conjunction with amd rigs is, that this systems are more smooth while daily work/gaming.

I dont think many gamers run havy tasks in the background when they want to game for some hours. So where do these smoother feeling steam from?

A bit OT:
Its funny that you accuse all people of trolling that dont agree with you imidiantly on your goal/opinion. They are people that have had quite some experience with different systems, yet they say things that are simmilar to what i say? All trolls and intel fanboys.... i dont think so.

Oh and please cut that name calling and shouting... you want to keep the thread clean and your the only one shouting and calling out pwople trolls...
