Read paragraph two here: http://www2.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NjQ0LDM= The 60 fps gameplay cap is cited in dozens of places and has been discussed here in this newsgroup and I see it evident playing the game. Occasionally you see the fps counter pop up a little higher than 60 but that's meaningless. Take a FRAPs benchmark while you're playing, then plot the csv on a graph in Excel if you need proof. -- The Brain From Planet Arous (1958): "Bad alien Gor takes over scientist Steve's brain; good alien Vol takes over Steve's dog's brain."
