60hz IPS vs 120HZ TN for gaming?

[AMD64Blondie]

If Sony hypothetically re-released a updated(with DVI & HDMI ports built-in) FW900 CRT monitor...I'd buy it in a heartbeat.(With higher-quality switches and cathode ray tubes,so I wouldn't have to worry about it dying prematurely.)

(I know it wouldn't sell very well,since people are obsessed with LCD monitors nowadays..but I'd still buy a new 2014-tech FW900 in a split second..)

I used to own a HP A7217A wide screen CRT(re-badged FW900,basically),and that 93-lb beast of a monitor was the best monitor I've ever personally used in my life.

Sadly, my beloved HP A7217A passed on to the monitor store in the sky in June 2013.

No it won't and yes, I can. BF4, Crysis 3, Far Cry 3, Skyrim. Name the modern title, if you max out settings and turn MSAA up anwhere from 2-8x and a gtx780 will be lucky to average 30fps. You NEED MSAA at that level because 1080p is a lower res, and the GTX 780 can't hang.


The 780ti is a slightly different story but still gets crippled on some games. These days you need to go multi gpu if you want to truly max out settings everywhere, even at 1080p.

You are correct to say the GTX 780 will not be hitting 90FPS on average with MSAA enabled In the titles above (Except Skyrim) @ 1080p. I was wrong to say that they would with MSAA. However, a GTX 780 will certainly be able to mange more than 30fps on average with 2-4XMSAA in most of those games @ 1080p.

See my personal tests below.

Not sure if anyone notices a difference between 4XMSAA and 8XMSAA, but I can't tell. Better yet, I would prefer to use SMAA over MSAA because it's less of an performance hit and the image quality difference to me is negligible.
