There's my review...

[Sastraxi]

You said in your review that > 60 fps wasn't playable... do you have insectoid vision or something, because only in the best conditions can the human eye even see 60 fps

[JPicasso]

I hate macromedia... and macromedia download me popups. every page.

If the game stays at a constant 60fps it's fine, but 60fps really means it fluctuates, and the AVERAGE is 60fps.

I've played SS:SE on the same Ti200 I benchmarked with (actually, when I played, my card was OCed) and it still wasn't smooth at 16x12 in SS:SE.

it’s a full 64MB DDR card with full DirectX 8.1 support

Ick, word full used twice in the same sentence!

and of course the VGA output; it's really a complete package for the money.

And of course...the card itself.

"And of course" used twice within 2 sentences!

Jedi Knight II is based on the Quake 3 engine, however it is far more demanding

is based on the Quake 3 engine, it is far more demanding. While not quite as demanding as Jedi Knight II :

May I suggest you mix the odd "intensive" in there

Over all, not bad, not bad at all

[JungleMan]

You're quite picky about grammatical mistakes Chris

[chrisjk]

they're not gramatical mistakes...just means you could have done with taking a look at http://www.thesaurus.com/

yeah, no offense but when you repeat the same word too many times too quickly it tends to sound really really tacky

I would be happy with 60fps... my average in SS:SE is like 23 at 640x480 but it only goes from 21 to 26... justifying my statement

Sastraxi, your computer is slow all I'm saying is at 16x12, my Ti200 couldn't handle it as well as this card can....

[Sastraxi]

But it's smooth, you've got to give it that, 50 fps is DEFINATELY playable

And yes I know my computer sucks... I should put a counter up on that subject
