Does having a frame rate faster than you can see really help the gameplay? I'd be inclined to think that by freeing up some CPU time the system would be more responsive to input and thus feel faster. How different is 100fps vs. 60fps? I've read the fps speed claims before, but not having personal experience, I dunno if it is really any better if your brain can't comprehend all those extra frames. I've been thinking lately that gamers are approaching the drag race effect: They get going so fast that they go by muscle memory and luck more than critical evaluation. I know there is some strategy to the actual game, but how many times do I watch people play and it's point the gun and spray a dozen shots instead of squeeze off one or two.

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.
