That's about what I thought.... 90fps is about all I need... thing is
about benchmarks, are these numbers averages or peaks? If peaks, that means
the 95fps may average 75 or less...

I think that usually, anything over 60-80fps does not really matter.
I would think of it in terms of obsolescence, if it cost $20 more to get
20more fps, do it. But for $100, nah.

Subject: [H] FPS question for gamers...
Those of you who enjoy fast-action PC gaming, I have a question:
At what point does FPS become moot? We all know that you can tell the
difference between 40fps and 60fps, but what about 80fps vs 100fps?
Here's why I ask, I am considering an SLI configuration of GeForce 8800
either GTS or GTX. I have only found one site so far to show benchmark
comparisons of the two:
http://www.hothardware.com/viewarticle.aspx?page=24&articleid=903&cid=2
On it, Quake4 performance is 141fps GTS vs 148fps GTX. No difference
essentially.
FEAR is 95fps GTS vs 120fps GTX. That's a considerable difference, but
will
it be noticeable?
Biggest difference is Prey: 116fps GTS vs 154fps GTX. Big difference, but
heck isn't 116fps good enough? Will I really notice the difference?
thanks for your input...
Veech
