unless you think about all those people that have been playing at 120fps and 120hz refresh then to have to go to 60 hz. not pleasant on the eyes. of course, you could set your refresh at 120 and play at 60 fps but it's not the same. the requests for the uncapping should have nothing to do with physics or movement.

and i can most definately tell the diff between 60hz refresh and 120. hell, i can tell between 75 and 60 as im sure most people can if they sit in front of a monitor long enough.

fuckin right, theres a true gamer that will understand wtf im talking about.

and foo sits there and tries to tell me THE ENGINES DEPENDANT ON THE 63FPS!!!!!! its a video game, if you can think it, it can be done and anything can be changed.

and yes, i play EVERY GAME at 120hz and 125fps(or close to it) and its the smoothest damn thing ive ever seen. infact it was the way q3 was designed to run in. this new way only appeals to new people like lenard who think a mongaloid and retard are two different things.

" what kind of mongaloid retard " rofl, gonna be laughin about that one all week.

please ban my fucking ip, dont make me help you.

well as much as i would like to see it uncapped i don't think it's that simple nor is it something id/raven are willing to do. ie rebuild the q4 engine to suit the needs of a few.

Foo isn't a moderator. Name calling goes to the void.

I find that multiples of my refresh rate barely have any difference on what I see, especially in the line of screen tearing.

That was funny? I AM HILARIOUS. I am going to start doing standup.

Oh, and the game was not built to run at 125 fps, hence the glitches and errors you get at that framerate. " if you can think it, it can be done and anything can be changed." Yeah, and it would consist of entirely re-writing a large portion of the engine, not just hitting ctrl+f alot and switching all the 60's to 125's. This would be a rediculous amount of work for something totally not worth while when most people can't even run it at sixty frames.

The 125fps thing in Q3 was a bug.

Post by **Ganemi** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 2:22 am

I hear from many people in Q3 that they can tell the difference between 120 FPS and 60. True? False? Stupid?

Post by **prince1000** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 2:31 am

yes there are differences between those 2 framerates, visually in accordance w/refresh rate and game physics wise.

capping games at 60fps and forcing people to sync refresh rates for smoothness at 60hz is silly. unless of course in the case of q4 id/raven had issues with the engine if it wasn't capped at 60fps. i would even be happy with a cap at 85 fps. syncing at 60 gives me headaches.

q4 @ 120 refresh resembles ghosting to me. i play at 85 for now.

Post by **Grudge** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 8:47 am

Most people don't realize that the smoothness felt at 125fps in Q3 is more due to the smoothness of the movement physics than to the visual benefits of a high refresh rate.

You don't know how vsync works, do you?

vsync syncs your "V" doesnt it?
