@-Karmum-: Well, IMO framerates above 24 are detrimental for movies or anything that requires no input. I'm not sure if there is a way to prove it, but due to the choppiness of the standard 24 fps your mind fills in the gaps with illusions. Essentially it exercises your imagination, even if just a a bit. The higher the framerate, the less interesting watching a movie will become.
But none of this has to do with video games, so I'll stop.
Typically I prefer 24fps movies as well, but the one instance where I make an exception is with 3D. Regular 3D movies look horrendous and cause me to have headaches and feel sickly, but with higher framerate 3D like in the Hobbit, it made the experience so much more enjoyable.
And they look... Weird. Like if they were sped up or something. But still, these are the first 60 frames videos on Youtube. Ever.
Weird? What is this, your first time seeing 60fps? jesus christ
don't know what's your problem. It does look weird on video because its so consistent, not even a frame less or more causing judder. I'm one of those people that always care about frame-rate since the first time I joined this site 10 years ago. I have a decent PC too which I mostly use to emulate old games because PC gaming sucks, and is not easy to have consistent frame-rate at 1080p and 60 fps with ultra settings even on a 780 ti either. So I have no idea what you're talking about, unless you have a $2000 PC with top of the line everything and sli and stuff. And even then games are never so consistent, not even old ones, they are always a few frames below or a few frames too high and that slight fluctuation causes judder.
Please tell me you're not being serious with this shit.
I'll still buy Intel CPUs. I use AMD's graphics cards but I know damn well to stay away from their CPUs
They're really not that bad. It's only games that rely on one or two cores that you have to worry about. Well-threaded games work amazingly, especially considering the price you can get the CPUs at. And I'll probably stick with AMD GPUs down the line as well, unless Nvidia just blows them out the water. I noticed colors being more vibrant on my AMD GPU--apparently Nvidia's drivers present a washed out image unless you correct it manually; I definitely noticed a difference. And it's just hard as **** to beat AMD's price to performance ratio. I mean, there's R9 290s out there (XFX Double Dissipation ones) for like $350 after rebate--that's insane.
AMD CPUs can game well enough. One thing say, my FX8350 does far better than Intel CPUs is play games and record game footage at the same time.
With my older CPUs, I wouldn't dare record full-size 1080p videos if my framerates were in the 30's. The FX-8350 makes it possible without dropping framerates.
Yeah, I haven't had any real issues on my 8320. Picked it up on sale for $130, and it's done everything I've asked of it. It can occasionally have issues on games that are very poorly threaded, but with the adoption of more mulit-threaded engines and Mantle/DX12, I think it should last me quite a while.
Here's Gigabyte own Fan Control program, found in their EasyTune 5 software: link. I figured they would have their own version. Any time one mobo company does something cool, they all copy.
@Cobra_nVidia: Download smcFanControl. It gives you control over the fans in your mac.
Anything for Windows? My Case has a setting High and low
ASUS has a fan control program, but I personally would just get an external fan controller. I use an AeroCool one that I got for, I think $25. Works amazingly well. This one
Thanks i'll definitely check it out!
Pretty sure it only works on the Sabertooth line of Asus boards.
Pretty sure it works with all ASUS mobos; I know I can use it on mine, and I don't have a Sabertooth board. You can get to it in the ASUS Suite II menu. I personally don't use it though, as it's quicker to just use my Aerocool fan controller.
Edit: Apparently Gigabyte has its own fan control software (not unexpected--they all copy each other). Here. It's an option under the EasyTune 5 program.
