Whats a good GPU for SH5

You do realize that the human eye cant really register much more than about 30fps anyway?

What species are you?

Peoples obsession with 'fps' is quite funny tbh, all movies /cinema/tv/dvd etc is shot at 24fps - yet no one complains that they are not 'smooth' enough.

Hmm, it's different with computer graphics. And for shooters, you want quick and smooth input, in which case 60fps makes a notable difference. And it does look smoother.

But yeah, a constant 30fps is what I want from a game. That's what qualifies as good performance for me.

Thanks again for all the replies,

I think i go for the GTX460 with dx11 and then and buy a second one half to one year later, because gtx295 is almost same price as 2x gtx460

I am also going to test that fps remark one had and cap it to 24 and look if everything goes fluid, got it now capped to 30 since that was the lowest i ever saw

The buy more memory isnt needed, 4gig is more then enough for a 64 bit system

Thanks again all for responding.

Excellent decision, if I may so.
