well zucker i went to the smoothness thread for you and searched for the word max. even tho i never said anything relating to the max fps in this thread which you were accusing me of i thought id show you what i said before.

i see nothing wrong with this.

nothing here.

if someone with a core 2 could run fraps and record the frames times and run 3d mark 06 it would be nice. then you could see the differences between each frame instead of just the fps values.
nope

i think you are forgetting the point. i am talking about smoothness here. not how fast a task can finish that has absolutely nothing to do with how smooth it is. and i am not talking about min and max fps either. what does that have to do with it? lets say you have an amd getting a max of 50 fps and a min of 40 fps and an average of 45 fps. then you have an intel getting a max of 70 fps and a min of 45 fps and an average of 50 fps. how big of a change is the drop from 70 fps to 45 fps going to be? you will be able to tell thats for sure. even if the amd has a lower minimum fps and a lower maximum if it can keep the frames coming out at a more consistent pace and within a reasonable amount of the intel cpu it should be smoother. its not like its that easy of a test to find out which is smoother. the only info we have right now are neutral people saying that amd is smoother when they have tested them side by side and some people switching to amd because they think its smoother. unless you can have some info to disprove this i don't know what you are trying to say. just because one gets a higher ammount of fps doesn't mean it will be smoother. especially if the fps changes around by a dramatic amount. only way i can think of testing this is by taking fps measurements at many different intervals and comparing them. because by comparing max fps average fps and min fps there is no way to tell which one is smoother.
hmmmm?
