Bad Company 2 & Crysis Warhead QUALITY TEST

Unfortunately, youtube compression seems to make this video suffer greatly. I'm going to investigate for a solution! Testing Fraps recording quality. Gameplay gets a little better as it goes along. recording doesn't fill the youtube box, as my monitor is 3:4. RECORDING TIP: record to another hard drive for far better frame-rates while recording. secondary internal is recommended, though an external still gives a benefit. ______________________________________________________________ In Bad company 2, average frame-rate (rounded): 59 fps. Max frame-rate: 60fps. Min Frame-rate: 57 fps. Because I was recording at 60 fps, that is the maximum possible frame-rate. Settings were all at maximum excluding anti-aliasing (though anisotropic filtering was at max), as I was forced to run under DX9 to avoid severe artifiacting. Sadly, the lack of AA under DX9 is very prominent in this game. __________________________________________________________________ In Crysis Warhead, Average frame-rate in non ice level (rounded): 36 fps. Max frame-rate: 40fps. Min frame-rate: 28 fps. Frame-rate was limited to 40fps max, as that was the set recording fps. Settings were all at a custom ultra-high equivalent, that gives a better frame-rate along with improved graphics. I believe it was one of the CCC mods, though I'm not quite sure. Al game-play is in real time, and none is pre-rendered. System specs: Intel i7 920 GTX 285 12GB DDR3 RAM 1TB Hitachi internal drive (runs game), 500gb Seagate Internal ...
