Lets make things clear first — FRAPS is known to display around 10-15 FPS lower than what you are actually getting. With that in mind we invite you to check out our next video series filmed by GamerX at GamingAllTheTime.com
The next episode in the uniquely awkward/hilarious Public Unboxing series is here! Carson was so excited about his purchase of the Steam Link and Controller that he just had to make a professional unboxing video on his way home. From a public bus stop, to a busy Starbucks; nothing will keep him from informing you about what's inside the box!
*The Public Unboxing series is strictly comedic and only sometimes informative. Unboxing videos are weird! So, we examine that weirdness by placing it in a public context.*
Next-Gen War is far from over, and there’s a (new) contender
The release of the original Xbox, in the early 2000′s clearly defined the way of what would be the future of gaming. Having a console in the living room has changed dramatically our way of playing video-games. The major step forward PC-like graphics and overall experience was brought to us by Sony with their PlayStation gaming systems and later on, by Microsoft, with their Xbox products line.
I know right. I love my PC and know plenty of ppl who game on pc, and a lot own consoles too. Plenty of games exclusive to pc, so i'm a bit confused lol
When wasn't the PC here?
Perhaps The Canadian has been living under a Nova Scotian rock.
Gabe's been rocking the digital distribution space for a few years now.
Someone's been smoking some deep time-traveling shrooms again.
Lol I'm Canadian and many of my brethren are PC gamers. This guy seems to just be daft.
Richard from The Happi Campers gives his view on this pirate themed classic, AC4.
BS fraps displays the framerate you are getting at that moment!Fraps its not a taxing APPZ and doesn't dispay 15fps less than what you actually are getting!It displays the correct framerate!Another BS his telling that v-sync is enable,well getting 20 to 45fps in MW3 and v-sync is enable!?Very strange.
It is a well known fact running FRAPS reduces your frame rate some, especially if you have it loaded off a slower HDD. With direct filmed videos you can see 0 lag what so ever, you can't even notice lag. In this case FRAPS was doing multiple tasks including benchmarks that haven't been posted yet.
Either way, the FPS never dipped below a playable frame rate maxed out, even noted by the person playing the game. And finally, background apps were running as well - and games never once shuttered. The lowest dip was at a still visible by the eye fps in Skyrim, maxed out settings probably loading from the HDD at the time. BTW the system is now on Amazon for pre-order as well.
For running brand new games at highest settings, switching over a few details and the FPS will be blazing. These videos show everything completely maxed out @ 1080p.
Also remember, its a PC - you can change the settings to get 100 FPS if you so choose. I choose to run on FULL settings. With effects turned down everything would of course run at a smoother pace. However that's not what my videos were about -- they are about what the system can push out at completely maxed settings, which is what users were asking for :)
