PS3 to be Capable of 120 fps?
You may have heard by now that Ken Kutaragi of Sony has stated that the PS3 will be capable of running games at 120 fps (frames per second). The question is, do we care? As many people have pointed out already in discussion of this comment, no TV produced today is capable of refreshing at 120 fps. Pretty much everyone is stuck at 60 fps. I’d also like to go out on a limb and suggest that even were you to get your hands on an imaginary 120 fps TV, you would lilkely not be able to tell the difference between 60 fps and 120 fps. I don’t think your brain can refresh that fast, never mind your TV, so it doesn’t really matter.
What does matter is that the PS3 will be capable of this kind of massive graphical processing. Even if we don’t care about insane refresh rates, this means the PS3 will be capable of dealing with more pixels and polygons per second. It would be capable of handling, for example, 1080p. Now that I do care about. Or I will as soon as I find a giant pile of money to throw down on a new 1080p HDTV set.
