evga nvidia GTX 560 2gig gddr5 native res- 1920x1080
1TB seagate HDD
8 gigs kingston hyper X 1600 ddr 3

well i have just the gtx 560 not the ti and i cant comment on shader amounts between games because of ignorance, mainly i just want to be ready for games coming out this year like Rome total war 2 and the new sim city. i just used far cry 3 as an example, i finished the game soon after i got it and while enjoying myself got bored with it.

fraps no, but i was getting like 15-25 fps on 3dmark11 and for the nvidia control settings i have it set to let the application decide. i try to run all my games maxed out in their individual setups as thats the way they should be enjoyed. having to drop settings to even be able to play rankles me.

i might but i dont need to see the actual frame rates to perceive that the game im playing is stuttering and lagging visually. what else can fraps tell me?


the free version will tell you FPS....... which everybody should know......... frame rates don't tell the entire story of how a card performs.
