The human eye can most definitely differentiate.

No, it can’t.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I’d be prettykitten if I was lvl 10 and some lvl 80 kitten came along and 1 shot a group mob before I even got a hit in.

Depending on the age of your system changing one component could lead to a chain reaction of having to change multiple components. CPU > Motherboard > PSU > Ram. Make sure all your parts are compatible before buying or you risk damaging/destroying them.

I do agree with most here that an upgrade to your CPU will net you the higest increase in performance.

Ok… There’s a lot of misinformation going on in this thread. The system I am playing on was built when age of Conan was launched. Athlon x64 dual core, 8800gt you and only 4 gigs of ram. I have yet to even stutter, and that with about 70% of my time spent in wvw. This game does not require a top of the line system. I would actually look at your Internet connection if you are having problems.

Also, the human eye can’t even see 30 frames per second, so trying for more than that is a waste of money.

That’s great… I have a degree in broadcast media and have been working in a/v production for over a decade. If you really want to get into it with me, I’ll explain why none of what was said on that linked page applies to games. Televisions (in the united states) refresh at 30 fps. Are you saying you can see the frame rate of your tv? No? Then run along and try to be smart elsewhere, cuz I forgot more than you will ever know about video production.

So, all the people buying 60hz and 120hz monitors are just being trolled by computer screen companies? I know I can tell a distinct difference at 85fps that I can at 30fps. And I was not trying to be ugly, I just provided a link that gave information. The fact that you were so easily upset about this and had to whip out the “I have a degree” card is a bit unsettling. I was only providing information for the OP and giving a difference of opinion. So you should probably check your elitist attitude at the door as this is a help forum and that all I was trying to do.

Yes people who buy 60-120hz monitors are throwing away money. And the link you provided assumes you are shooting through a camera with adjustable shutter speeds, irises, and filters. None of these things are present in a completely 3d modeled and rendered environment.

Trust me. I am an expert in this particular field.
