Quote:You still don't come to agree with the fact that you link things made in China with things made in Europe, with very different standards, and you expect to kick the bucket? Any of these works even a tiny different, and you can't expect paper-to-reality performance values. As things become more complex, greater the chances of a thing going "out of sync". Even 1 Celsius degree increase in heat can create a 2% non-linear response in electronic circuitry, not including the inherent problems of the actual chip and board design, flaws in components, tensions that vary even at 0,01 volts. Tons of situations to help a thing go wrong...
To your surprise, games can get as high as 100fps. They usually don't. In fact most of the time they don't get past 30fps in high res/tex/geom values. But, there is a but, you get to 100fps in an instant when you reach a low complexity area, this is very exhausting for the eye, and this happens in fact more than you think, not at 100fps, but at 60fps and it still matters. What I always say is that it is useless to make a game to run at 100fps or 60fps on a platform, when you don't make the fps performance more constant. Even when going slightly constant, sometimes you are still uncomfortable while playing a game. Vsync and Frame rate limiters can help, but the downside is that still you can go from 15 to 30 or 60fps in an instant.
I'm sorry, what on earth are you tring to say? Man Andei, your posts get more and more fun to respond to! WTF is this crap about stuff made in chine versus europe? Everything is made in china/taiwan/japan these days! Jesus, I'll bet if you opened up that PS2 or XBOX, it would have 1/2 the same stuff as computers get! That's because they are little computers, and use a lot of the same or very similar equipment. And when you really think about that, doesn't it make sense that you would have the same variations in FPS that you do on an x86 PC? But with a console, you can't do anything about it! As for you're stuff about heat and overclocking, duh, when stuff runs hotter, it becomes somewhat less efficient. That's why serious overclockers spend big bucks on water cooling, CO
2 cooling, and even liquid nitrogen cooling to keep their equipment running at those speeds. By the way, anyone seen those PCs with the refridgeration unit built into the bottom? Or perhaps it was here that I saw it, can't remember.
Quote:I wonder if going deeper into tech stuff and electronics would help someone understand more what are the inherent problems of the PC's and how the old problems can't be solved so easily. And still some people even on calculations and on paper, would not recognise the true facts and figures that define that situation. As I doubt that, I will not go further in complexity.
Yes andrei, don't bother going into any further details. As one of america's greatest leader's once said:
"It's better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and resolve all doubt."
