Robert: If you are getting 35 fps, then that is better than what you see on TV or in the theatre. Movie frames are manipulated (motion blur) to make it seem smooth. It's well-documented that the human eye can easily discern between 50fps and 100fps, and probably much higher as well (although I don't have the documentation to back that up). The higher power does let you get higher refresh rates at higher resolutions, but the original comment was stating that 150 vs 175 fps is irrelevant - which is true. The problem here is that the "150fps" or "175fps" are averages. What a gamer, casual or hardcore, cares about is not the average frame rate. As you point out, it doesn't really matter much if the instantanious frame rate is 150 or 175fps, but it does matter what the frame rate is during the inevitable "dips" (where there is plenty of action, lots of AI, smoke, lights, particles or whatever). Since no one supplies a trace of the frame rate during a benchmark, the only number we have is the average frame rate. -fyo
