[TECH Report] As the second turns: the web digests our game testing methods

Recently been playing Medal of honor warfighter (yeah its pretty bad) and the performance is terrible. Here is a section of a frame time trace that shows pretty much 60 fps all the time (5760x1200, high graphics):

That is stutter! Its unplayable.

Natural selection for video games! Hopefully nobody will buy that awful game. Condolences to the 5 people that did buy it.

EA just pulled the plug on the franchise: http://www.techspot.com/news/51505-ea-shelves-medal-of-honor-franchise-after-weak-sales-reviews.html

Apparently it really was that bad.

It wasn't the worst game I have played. It was just mediocrity at it's finest in a genre where you have to truly shine to take away from COD's install base.

Honestly, MOH and COD are both terrible, but MOH doesn't have the following to back up their mediocre game any longer.

Has anyone done any of these frametime graphs at 120hz? I'm wondering if that's the reason why I am not seeing the same problems as everyone else.

Now this is quite interesting, a look at the latest beta driver but with GPU view and the latency of the frame. Looks like the smoothness is at the cost of latency.

That's a nice, practical presentation with evidence, I like it. It will be interesting to see how this develops.

Same question. Anyone know how 120hz monitor's effect frametimes, but I am extremely sensitive to framerate/motion issues, and I haven't seen a lot of these problems.
