They do, since when? Why would they when LCD's run at a minimum 60Hz refresh rate?
Lots do, like
Halo 3. Star Wars Battlefront does the same. And you'll notice many games and sims like MSFS have a "target" framerate. Again, the purpose is to avoid stutter.
Nope it doesn't happen ANY time with every game, do you have any experience with any other game besides Trainz?
Yes, it does/can. "Stutter" occurs when a fluid motion cannot be maintained (though I have yet to see a formal definition, this is how most people define it - essentially, as an interruption.) Framerate locking is done to avoid this.
I take it based on this that you don't even know why you sync your card to your monitor's V-Sync. Please learn concepts before parroting what you read on gamerz forums here.
Lol, prove that I'm not using it, that's right you can't because you have no experience with high end hardware or what it's capable of.
Prove the visual quality is different. Oh, wait, you can't, partly because it's subjective, and partly because there is no formal answer. But I guess research and studies are too much for ya, huh?
Again what is it that I'm compensating for? So are you saying that everyone who is into high end hardware is trying to compensate for something?
In your case, apparently. You have capacity you don't need, so you've wasted your money. Even worse, you, by your own admission, frequently upgrade, so there's no point in you getting capacity you don't need as far as Trainz (and, probably, most current flight sims, X-Plane being a possible exception) are concerned.
Ironically, the one valid reason for overbuying hardware is one you have repeatedly scoffed at: Futureproofing. You might have had some credibility if you offered that as a reason rather than scoffed at it.
I've already proved it, I actually have the hardware to see the difference remember. Don't take my word for it though get into a real hardware forum and see if anyone with experience on the subject says anything different from what I have.
Seen other people's, no point. See, I did something you clearly don't, and which we've discussed time and again.
I did research rather than just buying the most expensive crap I could from Newegg. I t
ook a look a the games I play, did some research on what
hardware was necessary for them to work well, and purchased
appropriately. I didn't buy a quad-core, for example, because nothing I play would benefit from it, despite the fact I could have bought one for not much more than my current rig. (I have some video software that could theoretically benefit, but because of my usage methods and patterns, it wouldn't make a bit of difference.) Or, I could buy a fancier video card for as little as $50, but I don't need to since I won't gain anything noticeable, so why spend the money for something I don't need.
If I played Crysis or Need for Speed, then, I might consider new hardware to run it appropriately, and only if and what was necessary - no buying $1000 CPUs and $500 GPUs, sorry. So far X-Plane is the only thing that comes close, and I'll buy it only when I am ready to deal with HASP.
Sorry I'm not in it for bragging rights or compensation for something else but if that helps you get over the fact that you just don't know any better because the hardware isn't in your budget then so be it. If not I suggest you seek help with your insecurity issues and inferiority complex, lol.
Awww, but you do brag, often, so you are obviously compensating. Well, when you actually do research rather than just buy the most expensive thing you can afford, then we'll talk. Until then, I'm gonna sit here laughing my tookas off knowing how much money you waste.
ETA: The hypocrisy of your last statement above is not lost on me. Were I a geek who has nothing better to do than brag in fanboi forums, I'd have a field day with this.
