"Last, that doesn't really answer my question, or help me at all"
Who said I was trying to help you? lol, I was just giving some tips. Anyway, i've never seen that problem that you mention. I've had all nvda cards from riva tnt up to my current geforce 3. I also have a hard time believing your story about ruining CRTs, so does our monitor tech of over 10 years. But I won't argue with you. I'll just "agree to disagree". Anyway, i'm sure you'll figure it out. You are a hardwarefreak after all right? -----Original Message----- From: Stan Hoeppner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 4:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [OT] netgraph--frame rate hit First, yes vsync is your friend. Anyone who runs without it is ignorant. 2nd, I'm running 75Hz refresh, and see no reason to change it to 100, as higher refresh rates proportinally decrease the life of a CRT as you go higher. 3rd, human eyes cannot distinguish between 100 and 75 Hz, thus there is really no reason for 100 Hz refresh. Last, that doesn't really answer my question, or help me at all. Getting my peak FPS to 100 still won't help the FPS drop to 37.5. The optimal performance for any game would be that your FPS stays at the same rate all the time. 75 FPS all the time is just as good as 100 FPS all the time. What I'm attempting to fix is the drop in FPS from peak to 37.5.
