Can you go at the back of a full grid of FBM's at South City with AI please and tell me what FPS you get at the lights?

I'll try that when I get home, but I was talking about multiplayer...don't think 19 AI racing is very relevent...Oh, and my fps are only from in cockpit views, as I've never tried others.

Not sure what exactly you mean.. By relevant I mean that it's silly racing 19 AI as I assume most race strictly online or outlap, as I do.

A GTS 250 will be fine without any AA. Should keep you above 200 for the most part.

It has to keep above 200fps. My old 8600gt made 200+ with ease, near 300 i could say. All settings were on max, AA on max. No enbseries or new textures.

i cant believe that... or do you play at 800x600 resolution or something...

The 120Hz monitors only come with 1680x1050 at the moment. The are 1080p models coming later at some point, now there are only few prototypes afaik. Those 1680x1050 models are all 22" and they cost about 300$.

Note that TVs which claim 120Hz (or higher) aren't really 120Hz. They are really only 60Hz, the rest of the frames are interpolated inside the TV to make the image smoother. So those won't work for you.

Thanks for that bit of info geeman. It's a bit of a shame though as I really wanted something larger than a 22" screen.

wait you can't use AA/AF with 3d? Screw 3D then.

Looks like I misspoke. I checked last night and you can do AA in 3D with the invidia drivers.

Is there any sentence which makes less sense unless you know exactly what it's talking about?

Where's that bunny with the pancake on his head.

Me? I played, 1280x1024 (had my old 17" lcd @ 75Hz).

In that case gtx 285 for 1080, gtx 275 for 1050.

Don't you think 280 would be enough for 1080p?

ah yes than i can believe it

Possibly, but if he wants an absolute minimum of 120fps, might as well make sure you don't get any dips!

Anyways, if you are going to wait, definitely grab a GT300 series card over a gtx 285/280/275. Hopefully the new gen will have a better price/performance ratio.


edit: gtx 285's are going for $275 shipped on forum marketplaces FWIW.
