On that note, I have a question. I'm not a gamer, and I haven't played any FPS except Wolf3D and Quake and Halo one time, so I have next-to-no experience in configuring newer games. Have the developers ever thought of putting a Frame rate throttle on the engines? Really, if you are cranking out FPS faster than you can see them, why not throttle the system back and use the CPU power to handle the better effects? Setting a system max FPS of 30-60 FPS on a system capable of 120+ would give alot of extra horsepower back to the system to mkae all the goodies that much better.
Most of the serious FPS gamers turn off all but essential graphics to get a faster framerate. The faster it is, the smoother and more accurate you can be.
