| | (Post a comment) » ATI's Take On PhysicsEarlier this week NVIDIA announced that they were partnering with Havok to bring physics acceleration to the GPU. But what about ATI? In this article, Brandon asks ATI if they plan to take on physics acceleration, and what they think of AGEIA's PhysX processor. ATI had some pretty interesting things to say about the topic, read their response inside! |  Previous news article | Back to main news | Next news article  |

FPS game running at 60fps is a whole lot smoother looking then
30fps. I'm sick of these ppl who say that can't tell the difference!

your 2nd point is crap. it does not save money. cause of limitation
of technology and the inherent design of cameras, motion blur always
was and always will be (even in ccd's cause NOTHING can react
infinitely fast), for the forseeable future. the shutters on tape
cameras can only move so fast. for the most part, motion blur was
inevitable and not created for monetary reasons

whereas most people's reaction time is around 0.12s... just to round
out the picture with a miscellaneous fact

It's obvious you don't know what you're talking about.
1. Yes, the human can distinguish/notice more than 30fps, with your
logic, we should have videos at 15fps since thats what most
"Video Cams" if you get what I'm talking about are
distributed at..
2. Movies don't run at 27fps, they run at 24fps and they use a
technique called "motion blur", it saves money running at
a lower frame per second but lower framerates make panning look like
@#% and so to improve panning (like looking from left to right
slowly overseeing a valley for ex.) they blur the frames to it looks
more smooth.
3. Compare a movie, game, clip what ever at 30FPS and 60FPS, you'll
see it looks better but you're not quite sure how to put your finger
on it, it's the framerate.

it's the flicker that makes you feel sick. The 30 fps thing only
counts for movies due to the ersatz motion-compensation created by
the filming of said movies at that framerate. Even at that, we use
NTSC interleaving to stop that annoying "flicker" effect
that PAL users have to put up with.
In games the fps is far easier to detect, when you're turning and
trying to aim a scope at a distant target, and the
"graininess" makes you have trouble centering the scope.
The human eye works by detecting the difference between light and
dark areas. It does this by the eye muscles vibrating the eyeball
at about 80 Hertz.

Great article but....
I disagree on the glquake being better than vquake. I had platforms
to play both and while they both looked great I thought the depth of
the 3d was much better on the rendition board.
Two cents from the peanut gallery.
