The test Tiberio linked is amazing, http://frames-per-second.appspot.com/
Never really had a realtime test to try for objects in the foreground & background fps rate,, even changing the background from 25 to 120 is tons smoother.

The 120fps in that test may not work correctly though, theres a circle up in the top right, hover it for information. The browser itself maybe restricting it to 60fps (if its red), as it is for me.

TV/DVD (PAL) are 25 fps and look smooth as anything to me.

I use IE8 so that test doesn't work for me. When MS release IE9 for XP I'll give it a go.

Other browsers do work in XP you know? IE8 is a dinosaur.

Have read of why 25-30fps works for tv and not games :thumbup:

no offence but you clearly have no idea what your talking about.

why do you think there is 100hz - 200hz and so on in tv's? its not just fps that matters, yet high fps coupled with high hz makes a huge difference.

its about the smoothness of the overall image.

you running xp still and ie8 tells me your not huge into pc's.

as said earlier go play battlefield 3 at 30 fps and 60fps.

if you can not see a difference you really do need your eyes checked. makes a massive difference.

oh and a side note, try google chrome as its one of the most common browsers now days

to back up what im saying please have a LONG read of all this HERE

Erm, yes, because of the very thing you quoted. Your point is?

beta still down.
Update coming 8am tomorrow morning (just in time for the working week) boerns.

Heard mention of no SEA servers. Is this official or just what people are assuming? So if we have a midnight sale on the 14th, does that mean we can not play right away but rather have to wait until 5pm or whatever the time is when it is midnight in the US for the servers to get unlocked? Or will they simply unlock the servers early to accommodate for time differences (and take some pressure of the servers as I assume they would have a ridiculous load exactly at midnight)?

Correct. We'll have to wait, but be able to conserve our sleep on release night/day :D

I've just bought a wow annual pass, so get the diablo 3 digital pre-loaded.

Woot

I ended up doing the same, playing Wow at the moment, sub about to renew and figured why not, basically the same as pre-ordering the game at their Aus price and then paying an extra $80 for a years sub to wow.
