That's about what I thought.... 90fps is about all I need... thing is about benchmarks, are these numbers averages or peaks? If peaks, that means the 95fps may average 75 or less...

I think that usually, anything over 60-80fps does not really matter.

I would think of it in terms of obsolescence, if it cost $20 more to get
20more fps, do it.  But for $100, nah.

Those of you who enjoy fast-action PC gaming, I have a question:

At what point does FPS become moot?  We all know that you can tell the
difference between 40fps and 60fps, but what about 80fps vs 100fps?

Here's why I ask, I am considering an SLI configuration of GeForce 8800
either GTS or GTX.  I have only found one site so far to show benchmark
comparisons of the two:

http://www.hothardware.com/viewarticle.aspx?page=24&articleid=903&cid=2

On it, Quake4 performance is 141fps GTS vs 148fps GTX.  No difference
essentially.

FEAR is 95fps GTS vs 120fps GTX. That's a considerable difference, but will

it be noticeable?

Biggest difference is Prey: 116fps GTS vs 154fps GTX.  Big difference, but
heck isn't 116fps good enough?  Will I really notice the difference?

thanks for your input...

Veech
