I have a question. The weekend after AMFP has been released I want to play it with a few friends on a 50" TV. Does this need more performance, than gaming on a 24" screen? I don't think so, because it's the same resolution (1920x1080), or do I make a mistake and we have to set the res higher?

Computer specs:
Intel Core i7-3820 3,60 GHz
Geforce GTX 680
8GB DDR RAM
As you said, it depends on the native resolution the TV is running at. Either way, that pc is very powerful so I don't think you will have any issues whatsoever.

If it's indeed 1920x1080 I suspect there could a small performance decrease while on the TV due to image up-scaling but I wouldn't worry about it. Your 680 won't even care! Smile
The throttling problem is something that cannot be solved, it's a known problem of the amd fx 8350 cpus and the throttling is only disturbingly strong if I'm overclocking it...so I have to live with "only" 4.2 GhZ (with turbo core mode)

Ok thank you. Big Grin I asked this, because I never played anything above a res of 1920x1080. And to be honest I have no idea how a higher res will look on the TV (I think sharper textures?). Is there any recommended resolution for an 50 inch TV, or is the rule -if res higher it looks better, but it needs more performance)?

Urgh- sorry for the english - this grammer can't be right. Big Grin

Oh you are overclocking. Ok then. Either way, the game will run just fine! Smile

A lot of 50'' TVs are 1920x1080. So it's a normal resolution. In general, a bigger resolution requires more horsepower but also bigger amount of GPU RAM. Most 680s have 2GB, some aftermarket have 4GB if I remember correctly. Either way, I don't think you will have any issues. Wink

Okay, thanks. Yeah, I don't think that AMFP on the TV can force the GTX 680 to his knees, but I was uncertain regarding the res. Btw it's the 2GB GDDR5 model, but by now it always served me well. Smile
Thanks pluto.
Hello,

My PC:

OS: Windoes 7
Processor: Intel Core i7-2630QM 2.0 GhZ
Memory: 4GB
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M 1GB VRAM
Hard Drive: 500GB

it's all right belonging to the video card, do you think I can play well enough?
There is already a thread about this, but as you can see, your PC pretty much matches the requirements, so it should play just fine.
just a bit curious about how it will run for me

system specs

Processor: Intel® Core™ i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz

Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series

Total RAM: 8.0 GB

You will play just fine. I also have a 540M but with 2GB RAM he-he (not that the chip is capable of using all of them but whatever) Wink.

You are good to go. Medium settings I presume.
