I have A Core 2 Quad Q9650 Wandering If i Should Get A Core i5 Or i7 Ivy Bridge Quad

Show a screenshot of settings used for Crysis 3 and multiple in-game screenshot of you getting 33FPS-40FPS. If you manage to do so, then you've just got a buyer for that golden HD7790 and Core 2 Quad combo.

 

only problem is how to get screenshots to work on here? any clues i tried before could not get it to work?

 

Your pc isn't playing any of those games maxed out, not even close.

 

Upload the images to an image hosting service such as imgur and use img tags here. (Bracket) IMG (bracket) URL (bracket) (forward slash) IMG (bracket).

Make sure the image file extensions are included at the end of the URL.

 

I was wrong but i was close to 33 it is 27 here is screenshot what i am saying is it is very smooth still plays nice thats better then the i7 he used LOL!!! haha!!! okay must i upload image somewhere to get url

 

lol, I used to run a core 2 quad so you don't have to tell me how it performs. I still remember the shock I got when I upgraded to SB.

 

bloody hell fraps not working says when i did it 27 now as i take screenshot 4 WTF!!! is there a alternative i can use?

 

use MSI Afterburner. but either way, Crysis 3 runs like crap on your rig maxed out, you will not convince anyone else otherwise so there's no point in trying

 

but it is smooth there is no lag so how can it be crap? also does msi afterburner work on asus motherboard? the person moves normally everything else around him walks normally so it is not slow and there is no lag HAHA!!! crap is when it is lagging consistently thats crap!!! but i am not having that problem... LOL!!! still a new card so maybe better drivers coming out!!!

 

You must be half blind to think that it's running smooth on your system with under 30 fps. I'd say that you're just conditioned to low frame rates more than anything. I can gaurantee that a number of people posting here would immediately see the problem with your setup and find it unplayable. You're really not going to understand without upgrading yourself and pulling consistantly higher frames.

 

dude i am not going answer that!!! cause that does make sense if everything is normal!!! thats what i am saying it is not unplayable it plays fine i finished the game already 4 times in 3 hours each time so i know my pc LOL!!!

 

It does make sense, your perception of the game is that it is smooth. You are conditioned to low frame rates. If you put your system even with 30 fps next to a system with 60 fps you would understand.

Read the above link and watch the images to get an idea of what I'm talking about. You find things to be smooth at low frames because you're used to them. I'm used to considerably higher, and as such if I went to play a game at the frames you're experiencing I'd find it utterly unplayable. In fact, I'd end up with a headache.

 

see, this is Crysis 3 maxed out, on a 7790. with 2700k for cpu (much better than your c2q). I could not play it like that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwJx0SxGeUQ

 

I can assure you 27FPS is not smooth. But what else should we expect when you claim 120FPS on modern gams with maxed settings on your rig.

 

Ergh. That's jerky as hell, I'd get a migraine trying to play like that.

 

that was a while ago but newer have come out since then and are using more modern settings plus i am actually will record a clip for youtube

 

OP, I recommend you lower settings to medium or so and see how much smoother it would become.

 

i will put on youtube u can look at it cause this getting no where...

 

I'm eagerly awaiting your video.

 

24fps is the speed they use for cinema and that is stutters as hell in gas paced scenes considering a video game is a constant fast paced scene 30fps minimum would still look very choppy this is why I strive to maintain a 60fps minimum even if that men's lowering settings.
