I assure you it DOES matter. First off, gears by default runs in a small
window on your desktop. If it is only around 100 FPS at that size, then it
will be below 30 FPS fullscreen. This applies to games, which is the main
point of having the hardware acceleration (and a decent vid card).
You want/need as many FPS as you can pull off because this means that even if
a game gets real busy, lots of stuff happening on the screen at the same
time, then it will still slow down to better than 30 FPS, which assures you
that you will never get flicker, dropped frames, etc. If you play
3d-intensive games on a network, this is especially important. The more FPS
the better because it gives you lots of slack, which really is needed.
