Yes, if you can get your desktop refresh rate to run at 120Hz.
In the game, not knowing your PC, you will probably vary. I used to have a Viewsonic 20" CRT desktop at 120Hz. FPS in game 58-120 depending on circumstances. I was also running an older PC with AGP4, vsync ON. 20inch CRT is like putting a mini oven on your desk. I have a 22" LCD locked at 60 in game now. Much better and cooler........

Okay... so the speed limit is 50mph, meaning there's no difference between a 1950 caddy vs a 2009 Mustang GT, right? I mean, they can only both legally go to 50mph, right? (unless you run a real test on a track, in which case the performance and power and handling of the Mustang come through obvious for everyone to see) But that's just an illegitimate test, right? Means there's no difference, right?  [Edit: typo fix Edit2: typo missed!] |

Hopefully I can achieve the same relative results with my HD 5770.

Chalenge, it is perfectly legitimate if you want to know how much performance room you have left as you tweak settings for the game.
If you tweak the settings offline and end up at 70FPS, there is a really good chance your performance will drop like a rock when you get online in some action. Whereas, if you tweak the settings and the performance drops to 140FPS offline, there is a good chance the game will be pretty smooth once you get online and into some action.
If you tried testing with vsync on, you would not know about the overhead you have available.
In other words, it really only means something in the context of your computer. It is not something that useful to compare to other computers.

You will know that you can bench press 250lbs 10 times because you benched 375lbs 3 times, but know one else will know during the game. They just won't like how hard you can hit them.

Geez...I'd be too tired after the 375 lbs reps to even look at the 250 lbs...just hand me a beer.

Of course its a valid and interesting test.
Because a real furball will be alot more graphically intensive then the examples used here, So its nice to know you have head room for them, and the guy that runs this same test with vsync off and gets only 55fps, will not have room for the worst case with the high detail levels and long view ranges.

I can see what you are saying Skuzzy but it doesnt make sense that if the cap is 60 that seeing two and three times that number will ever mean anything. I think I will run a similar test tonight and see what happens but I still think the cap is the cap.

To fight against 20 Russians or some Spitfire is 'fun' and you forget that you are not certain you will survive. But to go over a group of 70 Flying Fortresses makes you see your whole life in front of you...

55fps is a bad example....... because its below the monitors refresh rate......... 55fps would be the same vsync on or off would make no difference...... not arguing the sentiment....... just sayin 55 is a bad number to use as example  |

Unless you're comparing the size of your e-penis, in which case it may arguably be the only comparison that matters |

Kazaa,
I notice the shadow map is set at 4096. Does that card run at 8192 Shadow Map or is that too much for the card?

8000 shadowing will destroy my FPS.
4000 is perfectly fine for FPS and gives fantastic detail. I feel that 8000 would destroy every card currently out!
