how to calculate FPS for games like crysis? what is good score?

I just bought a i7 920 with a gtx295 card. I am a newbie so please be very specific about what to do. how do I calculate fps for this game as well as empire total war, and what is the score that I want to reach realistically (also what resolution should I be playing at)?

is there any way to boost my fps?

i know next to nothing about computers, so don't think it is a good idea for me to overclock unless there is a VERY easy way to do so, like downloading a program that does it for me. do i need to overclock to get a high score, or does it not matter much? thanks

so I will know my fps BEFORE I run or open crysis, somewhere on the left upper corner of my desktop, if I run FRAPS? (I assumed I would know it in game, and it would be different for different games--some games would have a good fps and others not so much--I guess I was wrong) Thanks for your advice.

Any other comments please? much appreciated

and if someone can explain the crysis benchmarking in detail that he mentioned above so that i can do it, i would appreciate it.

i think there was a thread about a guy with similar configuration who was puzzled why his benchmarks in crysis were so low, I'd like to diagnose this in my own computer and make any changes for improvement

Normal human beings view at 30fps, unless adreneline kicks in- if your Fraps is giving you atleast 30fps then you shoulddoing great.!

That should bethe theory. However, when Im playing COD4, If Im not getting atleast 60fps then my game Lags :(

uhh what's so funny? Real life does have motion blur, also the human eye can perceive differences up to 200+ fps....but 60 fps is the sweet spot 30 is ok, but feels somewhat sluggish even with motion blur

[QUOTE="Xsan3"][QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"] It doesn't work like that, real life has motion blur.dackchaar

OMG - I guess you all don't get waht I'm trying to say. in RL - us humans see and average of 30fps. Yes, the human eye [and I stated this previously-when adrenaline kicks in] can see many more... So, at 30fos in RL, we don't see lag... Geesh...

Alright, first off you can't ask "How many FPS the human eye can percieve?" you should be asking "What is the shortest frame a human eye can notice?" The human eye can percieve around 18FPS as a fluid motion when motion blur is used to 'tween' the missing space.

In either case, the human eye doesn't pick up information like a video device. It processes a stream of information through the optic nerve. If you want to know more about frame rates, motion blur, and the human eye check out the link.

NO NOT THAT ONE!

Thanks for the Google search Toribor..

:lol: People keep adding false information to already-false information, huh?

How could you debate that this is false - or any of you?? If one of you were to work the inthe medical field - you may know a little more about the human body. How about some of you do a little research of how we persieve the world around us, and how fast a human brain can react.

So before you all decide to blast someone about human perception, how bout some of you kids learn a little bit....

First, the human brain doesn't perceive motion in "framerates." So obviously they don't "view at 30 fps."

Second, studies have shown that the human mind can perceive framerate differences in the range of hundreds of frames per second.

Third, there's also personal experience..I can personally tell when a game is running at 30 fps as opposed to 50+ ..especially in fast-paced games like first-person shooters or racing games.

I don't know everything, but I know more than enough to tell you you're wrong.

And what are you basicing this medical perception from?And if we don'tview motion in framerates--then how is it measured? BTW, go read a little bit, and read what others had to say about it. Not just in gaming forums, but medical threads....

Majority of every video we watch cinema and so forth, is viewed at 30fps. Because anything over that is a waste..It would make no difference. Now when talking about gaming - thts a different story....

as an update it looks like my fps for crysis at high resolutions is around 30 fps I assume that is good with i7 920 and gtx 295? i don't need to overclock? the game hasn't stuttered or slowed down so far thanks

IMO - If it looks good to you, play on!!
