AMD confirms dual GPU DX11 card

[Weasley]

only reason i want one is my 4870 512 is strugeling a bit at 1080p res with the latest games(demisgod as example)

Would you not rather lower your resolution than cough up what is likely to be a fair amount of money in order to play the latest games NOW.

[Necuno]

still pointless, imho mature the current great game engines like u3, crysis and cod4.

[phoenix]

I agree wholeheartedly, Necuno, but I think nvidia and AMD would prefer to see people buy new hardware with more go-faster stripes so that boost their framerates well past the point where it is relevant. [the human eye cannot distinguish the difference in framerates above 30 fps, not so?]

[Isengard]

I keep hearing that we cant distinguish the difference, but I can so easily tell when a game is running at 60fps or at 30. I need that explained to me.

[Necuno]

...well ninjas can see at 40 000 fps ? (it was it there movement speed...lol)

it wasn't movement speed, it was area of effect!

Well, actually it's at about 72fps that is the max before you cant notice a difference

How I understand it is that you can only process 30fps, but doent mean you can absorb more than that in information. You eyes "burn" in the image, but at 30fps, it's exactly what you can process, but be "burnt in image" is a single frame. Increasing this makes more frames "burnt" into the eye, and gives a motion blur effect which your brain is used to seeing. So you can tell that it seems "smoother" because of the motion blur (and saturation of colours) that is getting processed. So it feels more natural to your brain.

Blasphemy!!

Thanks for that, finally clears up that issue for me .
