Actually I have an older Sony 200sx set at it's maximum resolution of 
1280x1024. Unfortunately it's best vsync scan rate is 60Hz, but the 
flicker is not noticeable (unlike other monitors).

Would editing the vsync still be positive and if so how? I don't see it 
in the control panel/display settings. The Sony can do 75Hz at 1024 and 
if the FPS cranks, I'd drop the resolution down to that, providing I can 
set the vsync to make that work.
