do note that you can spend a ton of time just wondering around tho. And I really like how the look of the halloween version of the world is, so I like playing around in it . I didnt get far in the main game tho, so I am not missing shit.
@MikkaQ: Uhm, i dont think so. I can limit the games at 30 fps with an fps limiter and they stay locked at that. It is juttery because the game skips frames to acomodate half the speed at 60 Hz. It's a known problem on PC. I just played some Assassins Creed Revelations on Xbox and its smooth at 30. i can for exanple disable v sync but still keep the framerate limited to 30 on PC and then it will run the same as on consoles. Many of the games that i try on PC have that motion blur too, it hides it a bit for sure, but it's still very noticeable.
I am using adaptive Vsync on PC, so if my games go under 60 the driver will just drop v sync instead of skipping frames, but if I get 50 fps on a game with everything maxed out, I cant just limit it to 30 and v sync it.
@Colourful_Hippie: I know its not keeping constant 60 fps, thats why I mentioned it. It runs perfectly on 60, but just a few frames lower and its jittery. I can lower settings to achieve perfect 60, but I was asking how can consoles keep the games smooth at 30 fps with v-sync on. (not as smooth as 60).
I always noticed that on PC if you enable V-sync, the game will always skip some frames and be jittery if it goes under 60 fps. Even tripple buffering (forced or native to games) or the half refresh rate on the nvidia panel can't help. On a console tho, games that have v-sync at 30 fps feel alot smoother. They basically feel like 30 fps without v-sync on PC.
So I am wondering why is that.What are they doing differently? I should also note that Overlord was capped at 30 fps on PC and actually ran smooth with v-sync, but sleeping dogs for example runs like garbage on that framerate with v-sync on.(as with most games)
I am asking this because in many games I get between 50 and 60 fps and it drives me mad that they feel worse than on consoles with v-sync enabled. The only option is to disable it, but then I get the big fat tears on the screen. Some games do it better than others, but like Jeff said, Hawken was tearing like a mother fucker.
