Your wrong here wanna "I agree in some respects. Benchmarking at low resolutions is pretty irrelevant to the user experience, but so is showing a game running at 150 fps on one platform vs 175fps on another. Extremely high frame rates like these exceed the ability of the monitor and/or video adapter, anyway, and does not make much of a difference when it comes to the user experience." High Frame rates and more Powerful CPU's do affect user experience especially in Multiplayer games. I've seen framerates drop from 100fps down to 35fps on Multiplayer games (I play mostly para-military type games) when more people are in the same field of view, and the number of sounds increase as more people are firing, footsteps etc. Not to mention increased TCP/IP traffic that has to be handled from the Server to the Client. The faster the CPU the smoother Multiplayer games are, thus adding to the realism of said game. And I can say my 850Mhz Athlon cannot go above 800x600 without my gameplay starting to suffer and I have 3000Kbps Cable Modem connection. So don't put words into Gamers Mouths please. M.
