The instruction set is partially related as the consoles don't have to worry about a full blown OS and other programs to run hence their optimized to run for one thing only so don't need the redundant instruction set so clock per clock their very good and can offload stuff from the weak GPU which is not what is good on the PC platform where we want stuff unload from CPU and stuck on the GPU. Basically the current console gen is doing things backwards to what traditionally PC games had done.
More fun "facts" 16AA with multisampling and everything tuned on makes the game stutter noticably less for me. Disabling sound in device manager makes the stutter completly go away....
I've decided not to Prestige again, so that gives me time to play some Wager Matches, here's a full game of Gun Game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAHMVH6yQWA&fmt=22
nuketown is too easy with choppers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKx0NI7QUrE managed to go 132-7 on domination...
seems its a fix for sound quality maybe I thought gamma AA was an openGL thing not direct X and thats why its disabled by default , as it doesnt actually do anything?
I assume you play softcore then? Once I even got the 5 minute tempban because it killed at least 5 of my teammates in one run (it's hard not to hit everybody as small as the maps is)
I've just hit level 25, am enjoying it apart from the usual whiny spackers. It's always the same. If you're playing well, you get accused of hacking, if you play crap...they call you a noob, and if you're really crap, you get kick/banned. lol, cant win. just as well i'm an incredibly average player
Yeah, I have hardcore filtered off. I have no interest in getting a temp ban because my idiot team mate runs in front of me while I'm shooting.
The good thing is you get 5 "tickets" It also leads to much less spamming which is a good thing in my book. It's really just the kill streaks that are a problem, almost as bad as in MW2.
Both are faster in floating point calculations than any desktop PC CPU. Highly OC'ed i7 980 would probably beat X360's CPU tho.
seems that changing fov does not do anything except the view model, not really change the fov. treyarch seriously need to give real option to change fov, not some crap like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuBIQ2v_u3c
E8400 P45 Chipset 8GB RAM 460gtx 1 GB some ancient Audigy 4 Soundcard And yes this game is "strange" unlike every other game it runs better the more eyecandy you activate. With sound on i get a stutter here and then and average 60 fps @ 1240x1024. With everything turned down and no AA ect i get constant stuttering its like a slideshow. With soundcard disabeled in Devicemanager i am at 100 FPS all the time (max for my config). Sound is really fubared. However I dont know if its this games poor coding or the poor coding of the creative sound drivers. Probably a mix of both.
Uploaded a couple of videos, just watched the theater mode replay with Fraps recording @ 30FPS, then chose a different method / bit rate on Any Video Converter. Upload was less than 100MB and the quality is decent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5sWiPmzs0E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMaDU8UcEd4
