i expect tht is better than my comp. bt i dnt no anything bout spec. so....lol

You don't know anything about the spec, and you're on Techious? Are you mad man!?

No I'm just kidding really. I mean we all have to start somewhere don't we?

I'm going to find it very hard to play games on any other computer than my own though, as I will find the performance to be shit in comparison.

lol i suppose thts to be expected considering ur prob used to a v high standard.

i tend to get lag spikes where my comp freezes for a sec or two, its well gd

Seriously, Source games will not have any performance issues on that computer. I've played HL2 on a 1.4GHz Geforce 3 machine on med with no problems.

lol, well mark knows wot hes talking about so uve been told aaron! (i bet he can notice a difference tho lol)

Well he can apparently notice a 10fps difference when running at 200fps. I do not see how that is possible, as the human eye does not register that much info.

Anyone can register that... its that number at the top saying x fps.

No, he claimed he could actually tell a difference in perceivable gameplay experience.

ah, i dunno wot tht means again

its like my bro, he says he can only drink blue milk, n when we show him its different milk he cant drink it....so we change labels round and he cant tell difference ^^

LOL, that's pretty much it.

Basically, he claims 210fps is noticeably smoother than 200fps.

well, it is lol

It's not, though, humans cannot perceive better than that. Also, monitors are incapable of rendering it!

thr is according to the laws of physics

Erm, monitors typically run at 60Hz. Hz = per seconds, so 60 frames per seconds in this case. therefore they don't!

Don't try to out physics me, you don't even do physics!

I liked it very much! Medics seem to be an important part of the team.



I think you mean that I can tell the difference between 60fps and 70fps. Same as I can tell the difference between 100fps and 200fps.
Edit: Also, for digital panels like my 30 inch for example, it has a 12ms response time, this is 1000/12 = 83.3 minimum per second refresh rate, or 83.3Hz. Faster panels running at say 1280x1024 with 2ms response time have, well, 500 per second. The frequency setting you see on the graphics properties in your driver control panel or within Windows display properties is negated by digital panels.

haha my argument was always flawed in the sense tht :

1) i no nothing about frame rates

and

2) i no nothing about physics

ROFL

Could be simplified to - you know nothing! xP

Anyway, Orange box. I take it you only bought TF2, Aaron?

What's in Orange Box again? I already had HL2 with HL2:DM and CS:S, I bought Portal separately, then TF2 separately after that.

Other than what u already have, Only Ep1 and Ep 2....

Yeah, the irony is he's paid more for Portal+TF2 than he would for the Orange Box!

Doesn't matter to me

I didn't really know if either Portal or TF2 were my sort of games. I don't play Portal at all now, and TF2 seems fun but the novelty wears off. Strangely I really want to play Battlefield 2 right now.

Anyway, I've earned thousands of pounds between buying all those titles so I can't really say I have lost out...

I thought you really enjoyed Portal? And you have to give TF2 a bit of time to get used to the playstyle.

it depends wot kind of multiplayer game u like, i keep on changing my mind on which is my fav. atm.

lol?

Completed HL2 last night... Interesting ending I'll give them that! Already done Ep1 and 2, so I'm now just going to do some achievement whoring

i need to complete hl2 e2
