The extra threads that the i7 provides is worthless. i7 processors are not actuly better or faster, they just have more threads which is useful for video rendering etc. Coming from an i7 owner, they are just the same as i5's for gaming, infact worse, because the extra heat generated by hyperthreading means you cant overclock frequency as high. i5 has 4 cores 4 threads, i7 has 4 cores 8 threads. Starcraft 2 uses 1 thread, and offloads audio etc onto a second. The other 2-4 threads are idle, at 0-1% usage, for the entire gameplay experience, even in 800 vs 800 food where you are fps capped hard by CPU, an i5 at 5ghz gives you the exact same fps as an i7 at 5ghz and yet costs $100 less. RAM is worthless past 4gb for sc2 performance. I run with 6gb RAM on my first gen i7 (triple channel) and running just windows 7 with aero disabled (which i do for performance, enabling it adds a delay to everything for no reason) i can run windows and sc2 with under 2.5gb RAM at peak, so the extra RAM does nothing at all. I cap at about 400fps on lowest settings 1920x1080, that caps 1 CPU core, puts another at 20% or so, and puts my GTX580 to 25% load. The GTX560 is too powerful for the game unless they run on high/extreme settings, and wont run at anything near max capacity. | ||

It uses the exact same graphics, sprites, effects, etc, but displays at a higher resolution. People need to learn what resolution actuly means, i see so many people (not really you, but others) going OMGGGGGG!!11!!11!1!1!!HIGH DEFINITION without actuly having a clue what they are talking about. | ||

Yeah but, since bw is all sprite based, would not a higher resolution enlarge the field of view? Wouldn't that be cosidered cheating, since you can see more stuff than someone with the normal resolution, without moving the camera? | ||

Higher resolution would always enlarge the field of view, in any game with a standard camera, unless you use static scaling like sc2 does - 1280x720 would give the same view field as 1920x1080 - because both are 16: 9 aspect ratio | ||

I'm saying that what Kespa are essentially doing with those articles is saying "Hey we want to do an SC2 Pro League, so you guys are going to let us do it". They, and all the people that take the article as meaning there will actually be an SC2 Pro League are getting ahead of themselves. I don't hate Kespa, I'm talking about Gom and Blizzard when I say "everyone (that matters)". | ||

RAM is so damn cheap these days so that wouldn't help much. And the setup they have is more than enough to comfortably run SC2 on Ultra, stream it and have plenty of power left over. | ||

I don't really see how it should be different from BW. Just because I can see a bit more on 1 screen doesn't mean I can instantly go on Fish and start pwning koreans. It might even be a hindrance because units are smaller therefore it might be harder to micro. And iirc launchers like the iccup one are technically hacks aren't they as well? It's all in the wording, it's either a hack, mod, update etc depending on whether you like it or not. It's not like it gives you any tangible in game benefits any more so than something like lan latency. | ||
