Regarding the XBOX360

Let's say you have a racing game ( for example: Test Drive Unlimited ), let say that it runs at 60fps too and you have those reflexion maps all over the car. My question is: Those are going to run at 60fps?

Trough out many racers on the Xbox, we can see those reflexion maps running at lower frame rates. Maybe it's due to the lack of EDRAM.

Let the debate begins.

Not necessarily. The desire is only on the screen refreshing and not texture reflections as far as I know.

Uh, your framerate is the whole screen, not bits of it. However, it's possible that they refresh the reflexion less often than the image is rendered (much like they can query controller information 30 times per second in a 60fps game). It's not system-relative.

Don't see what there is to debate.

Oh God no.

it has nothing to do with the edram. The realtime reflection maps can be straining on the system because it effectively has to render twice the geometry. (or a lower LOD model as the reflection). This is why most games have the reflections framerate HALVED.

This should be fixed next gen as they should have reflections running at the same speed of the game

 

[Suikoguy]

Its up to the developer on how often they want the reflection maps to update.
be it 10,15, or even 30fps.

 

[nightez]

probably not

 

[Omeyocan]

For example take OutRun 2 on Xbox. The whole game is running at 60fps. But the reflexion on the car is refreshing at 30fps. Why is that ? Why it could not refreshing at 60fps too?

 

[Omeyocan]

Thanks Dopey Fish.

 

[Shogmaster]

Not necessarily. The mandate is only on the screen refreshing and not texture reflections as far as I know.

What mandate?!? There is no fucking "mandate" other than all games use at minimum 2XAA, and 4XAA is highly recommended.

TECH HEADS ! I HAVE A LITTLE QUESTION FOR YOU...

I'll answer:

I would recommend a new Keyboard if cleaning the sticky shift key doesn't do the trick.

Fixed just for you.
