Aside from the fact that this way OT - this email is by far the most
hilarious yet. I'm not waging a personal attack, but come on - "If you're
not a gamer or only run 3D occasionally you may have to
"""settle""" for a
Radeon 8500 or 9200??? That statement is hilarious! Both these cards are
capable of 3D graphics FAR beyond what the human eye can appreciate -
unless, of course, you're one of the people that believe they can actually
_see_ Unreal @ 90+fps.
Totally OT, but 90fps does not mean that the picture is actually smooth.
Go watch a 24 fps movie in the theatre and a 50 fps 3D game and you'll
notice that movements in the movie are much smoother, while in the game
they stutter/jump/are jerky/unnatural.
So pumping 100 fps might lower this problem, but not eliminate it.
It is like 1024x768 3D game screenshot still looks much more artificial
that a 640x480 screenshot from a movie.
High numbers are not everything.
So just because a 8500 can render 1024x768@60fps does not mean that there
is nothing to improve.
