I disabled VSYNC, ran timedemo demo1 three times and averaged 320.5 fps. 
Not too shabby.

I had downloaded the new 81.87 beta drivers from nvidia.com, installed 
them, then tried to run GLQuake for a timedemo, but ... Quake crashed. I 
tried it three times, and it crashed at the same point. So beware the 
drivers. I currently am running the 61.77 drivers, so I'll hunt down the 
77.77 drivers and try a timedemo then.
