Professional StarCraft 2 WoL after beta GPU review

[mikill]

My HD 5770 plays StarCraft 2 at 1920x1200 with over 60 FPS unless there's huge UMS battles in which case it goes down to 30 or so. Unless 2xAA or 4xAA is worth 550$ to you, you do not need it for StarCraft 2.

Actually I believe it is 16xAA, and thats $500 + tax Canadian so thats $450 USA. My point is Tychus that they should compare these cards in SC2.

I was throwing you a bone and saying that 2xAA and 4xAA was noticable in 1920x1200. 16xAA is just ridiculous.

It's a waste of money for StarCraft 2 alone. End of discussion.

Sure, they should benchmark them but only for the hell of it. The person I was responding to was searching for benchmarks to see how well it ran. That's what was unnecessary.

I know 16xAA rocks! It is not a waste show me where you can buy one for that price, you can't! More demand than supply!

It's impossible to see the difference of 16xAA at 1920x1200 unless you have a 40+ in monitor (No, not a TV). It's simple science. It's already almost impossible to see 2xAA or 4xAA at that resolution. If I took screenshots with various AA at that resolution, I guarantee you you wouldn't notice the difference.

Dare you take me up on my challenge?

[mikill]

Sure, I wish to take you up on your challenge. I want to see the difference between all of the AA settings up to 16xAA on several screens that go up to 40".

[TheEconomist]

There are no consumer level monitor that go up to 40".

I'm getting the screenshots. Can't wait for you to fail.

What's a good $600 rig. got them monitors already.

Gonna use it for:

1. SC2, and other games.
2. Horizontal stuff and in-game cinematic stuff. recording, etc.
3. Music/Audio stuff like FL studio and loading vstis and samples like philharmonic, EWQL Stuff. I think these things eat ram in the millions.

I am not going to fail, but you make sure that we can see the AA settings in the pictures.

it is possible, Crysis, BFBC2, Resident Evil 5 are those examples, but you need to look closely otherwise it won't work
on the other hand Dawn of War II is the best example you can get, the diffrence between AA modes is very noticeable, the quality is diffrent and easy to catch

Thanks Spychi I know there is a difference but he doesn't seem to believe that.
