Anand: PII vs. Q9550 vs. i7 crossfire, Phenom II = smoother

[iandh]

Anand did the testing and we got the numbers. If you have finished primary school you should know how to add, multiply and divide numbers.

Are you on something or what?

Read the first post. The op has defined "higher min fps" as smoother.

reading comprehension ftw

I'll give you a break here because I'm not sure whether english is your second language.


I said smoother gameplay AND higher min fps. The "AND" delineates them as two seperate items, so in actuality I said the exact opposite of what you though I said.

If I had meant that the smoothness was due to the higher min fps, I would have said "smoother gameplay BECAUSE of higher min fps", and not have used AND.



edit: To define...

Smooth = no stutter/hitching, related to max average time between rendered frames

Higher min FPS = less noticable framerate drops, generally happens in same areas regardless whether AMD or Intel



A framerate drop (worse with lower min fps) occurs in certain hard to render scenes but not all the time, while lack of smoothness occurs continuously.
