Why 1600x1200x32bit @120 Hz >50 fps?
Why does everyone say one can't possibly play at a resolution below 1600x1200 
with 32 bit colours, 120 Hz refresh rate and over 50 fps? I can't get it. Of course the ones, who have said this are possibly a gamer-lamers, who play 17 hours/day 
. But still...
When I play I use 640x480 or 800x600 at 16 bit colours and @75 hz. I'm happy if the fps are above 20. (Depending on the game, that is). I'm no gamer myself (as I have probably mentioned a couple of times before :cool ) but I can see no reason why the fps must be above 30 to acchieve the maximum "feel" of the game. I understand that the more fps the more precise the controls are and thus the game is easier and more comfortable to play, but I see no difference between 23 and >30 fps. When I play Serious Sam against my friends in a LAN-game, their fps is way above 40 (their computers are fast compared to mine) at 1024x768x32bit. I have to play at 640x480x16bit (and disable some cool effects :mad ) to get 25 fps. Still I can beat them all! My controls are just as precise as theirs.
Comment on this if you dare!
And don't say "buy a better computer", because I won't do it for next five years!!
