Like now? :-)

Chris, what I object to about marks like 150 fps is that 150fps will
look like crap because your monitor is running at, what 72Hz? 85Hz?
Unless your monitor refresh rate is synced to your frames per second
you *will* see tearing (the screen being updated while on the screen)
or it will happen in the background and you won't see anything greater
than your refresh rate.  So anyone he claims anything higher than
your monitor refresh rate is full of it (and I reserve the right to
call you on it. :-).

Cheers,
Tanner

1. Creativity and innovation always builds on the past.
2. The past always tries to control the creativity that builds upon it.
3. Free societies enable the future by limiting this power of the past.
4. Ours is less and less a free society.
