Better graphics in 0.9 than .87

Its kinda weird but my graphics have improved with 0.9

I got my pc about 2-3 years ago.

I have a Nvidia GT 7950

3 Gb Ram , and a dual core proccessor

My view distance in .87 was 90% , now its up to 95% and i have increased textures to high and most of the other graphics which i used to run on medium.


I have only encountered 2 problems on 2 maps. On fallujah in some neighborhoods i get low FPS for about 3 seconds then it goes away and on Lakashar Valley when flying the Lynx chopper i some times get a black screen in some areas of the map which causes me to crash the chopper.

But other than that my comps running fine and even better than before.

Mine's completely opposite, same specs except I've got a better vid card tho I have trouble running this game on low (especially in certain maps where looking in a certain direction lags the hell out of me)

this is curious indeed. my PC is pretty much straight out of the box standard purchase from bestbuy mid to low end specs, the only upgrade i've gotten is a 9800GT. i'm running 0.9 fine, infact slightly better than .87 as you've said minus a few spots in large city maps.

and of course people with much better rigs are complaining about sudden fps drops. maybe those people are whining simply about the number, as if i recall from animation class your eyes cant track images past 15(?) frames per second anyways. i dunno this is one weird bug.

^ past around 28 fps, not 15, 15 fps is horrible, and thats what I get playin fallujah with 3 gigz ram, dual core and Gforce9600GT.
Anyway, about better graphics and stuff, any1 noticed that vehicle textures, atleast on the T-90 are kinda blurry and low res now?

you will need about 30 fps at an absolute minimum to have a smoothish game

You can detect far more, take a look at a game playing at 100 fps and then quickly change to even 40fps, you'll feel the "sluggish drop" even that 40fps is perfectly acceptable.

Movies run at 25 frames per second.

Yeah...the reason of different fps is in the difference between the frames presented in reality and in movies or games.

How many frames per second can the human eye see?
