CPU or GPU is more important?

SInce there are no " blurr" from on frame to the other from a fast moving object in video rendering, like on film at 24 fps, the ideal minimum fps for a video game is 60 fps to have a cinematographic correspondance...
It can be smooth under there rates, but it will not be "realistic"...
So lets hope patches will allow top PCs those performances with lots of action in the air !

Salute!

+1. The 30fps argument is not valid IMHO.

you know its funny cause people hav argued for so long that "zomg you only need 24 fps" completely not understanding the issue.

well some in hollywood want 60fps because 24 is extremely limiting.

24 fps was the standard for film, based on the fact that people wouldn't notice any stuttering at that rate...Early movies were shot at 18 fps (like some WW1 movies) and we can clearly see stuttering...But it works with an average shutter speed of 1/125 witch makes a fast moving object leaving a trail that makes the passing from one frame to the other look smooth...
SOme camera F/X were used at 24 FPS but with hight shutter speed in Gladiator, and it gives the impression of stroboscopic movement...CLose to what a game would do...Funny...

Well from what I've seen it'sGPU locked not cpu locked (9% overall cpu load - not more than 60% on core 1 - with process affinity mask -15 set in conf ini) - ps GPU load was 0% for screenshot on desktop - but 99% when running the game - just on gpu 1. peak temps 90c on gpu1, 45c on gpu2 - 0% load gpu 2.
Also this was with CPU on 4.4 ghz not 4.7 - trying lower setting to see if there is any impact - will try tomorrow at stock and then underclocked speeds to see if I can find where CPU becomes the limit.

Just changed land to high and put cpu back to stock clocks - no noticeable change in fps - still around 45 fps on London free flight (first minute of track - tir turned off, auto pilot on to get repeatable benchmark) - GPU now using nearly 1.5 gb memory - no stutters (Have 2x60gb ssd's in raid array - maybe they are helping as I've not had the microstutters at all).

add 6 planes over London...your FPS will be about 18

FPS in external view is very good - about twice of in cockpit view

I believe GPU is effectively, at this stage of developpement, the most important, because : my new rig is good but i kept my previous GC and i experiance a lot of stutters, and fps is rather poor...
