You're and idiot, this thread is stupid, Dennis lock this thread please.

Which begs the question then: why did you post in it to keep it going?

is this thread locked yet? maybe suspend their thread making privileges and just link them to crydev every time they try to make a new thread. this is out of hand, we tried to reason with them, but they won't stop. and please lock the thread.

I built my computer with $600 via newegg.com and it can run max graphics with forced 24xqa ssaa with at least 60fps.

framerate also plays into how often the game checks scripts, functions, events, etc. and not just graphics, allowing for more accurate gameplay(hence why the game slows down)
a bypass is frame skipping, used in most modern games to skip rendering a scene in order to run necessary scripts and keep the game at a constant speed, but this causes a single frame to span over long periods of time, interrupting the game's flow.

I can't tell the difference over 30, at least in games

Unless your animating.... which can be a pig.

So, you can basically slow down game-time by running at a higher FPS.

Nice.

Why don't we just port Halo to the Source Engine?

I am pretty sure that you can get a WORKING portal gun mod there.

well no, running at a higher FPS will run the game at it's standard speed, the only change would be that the computer would render the scene as fast as it can without the game limiting the rate. when the computer starts to use up more processing power than it has, then the game tries slowing down the speed so the computer can render the frames at a constant pace, unless frame-skipping is implemented.

FPS is how many frames in a scene are rendered during a single second. The timing of the game itself is not affected by the FPS, ex if your getting like 10 fps and the warthog is glitching across the screen in a multiplayer game, its going to move across as it normally would with 60 fps, but it wont be smooth or nice looking, it'll "jump". Thats so the game-time keeps up with everyone else even though the FPS can be different (lets not get into net code... you get the idea). It does the same thing in a SP environment, because if it were to slow game time down things wouldn't react the way they would when you would get a different FPS.

im so used to 20-30 fps or lower in this game on this i3 laptop, and for some reason... 60+ fps on simpsons hit & run... weird...

Because those games are really similar if we talk about graphics... (my god...)

still shocking to get more out of a powerless card

People come on.
It's frame rate. The frame rate doesn't affect the in game timing. Make some sense here.
FPS = frames per second. ex: Halo is meant to run at 30 fps.

What happens when you run it at 60? I see blurs when I jump.
