Framerates are a great hoax these days.
all these benchmarkers go out there and "benchmark" vidi cards. and they say "hey this card does 110 frames per second on doom 3!"
but what they dont tell you is a game looks like s h i t at 110 frames per second. because you can always see glitches on screen like scan lines and those crazy lines you see.
it's not PERFECTLY SMOOTH.
SO! what you need is card that can deliver a CONSTANT 30FPS
vsync'd to 60hz and WOW!! your $2000 video card that does 300fps on a benchmark is now doing 30fps but it's PERFECTLY SMOOTH.
dont be fooled by framerates! all you need is a good card that can KEEP the frames rolling. thats way more important.
...except 60hz is a headache inducing flicker fest. Well, if you've been stuck using the Amiga's native video modes for fifteen years I guess it probably looks rock solid.
