Screen tearing for me.

Screen tearing comes with frame rate variations, and my eyes are really sensible to those two (locked fps ftw! Be it 30 or 60.).
While this gen has taught me that with some creativity, devs can achieve really good results using low res textures.

Depends on the amount of screen tearing. I don't mind a little tearing but a lot kinda bothers my eyes.

Several Unreal Engine games look awful while loading textures, that bugs me.

I guess the answer is they both only bother me when its excessive.

Screen tearing.
a game with little screen tearing is "beautiful" to me, Textures aren't good when you see that weird flicker thing on them.

If screen tearing accounts for many of the jaggies we see in videogames than I pick that..if it doesn't than low textures definitely is what I dislike more.

Now this even casts doubts on your knowledge of graphics on the systems you are familiar with.

I guess it's time to face it: You like pretty graphics, but you have no idea of how they work.

I know that screen tearing is the shimmery like stuff you see in many videogames, I just don't know if it also cause the jaggies you see in video games or not.

But your right I don't know much about how graphics work because I'm not a fracking developer or a code junkie. I just play my damn vidoegames and if I like it I play it, if I don't like it I don't play it.

I enjoy high visual fidelity but that does NOT mean I know a ton about graphics. When I said in the other thread I knew a lot about graphics concerning 360, PS3, ect, I was talking about purely the visual aspect of it. I know what games on those systems look like....that is mostly the extent of my graphical knowledge.
