Video Cards

The other point I'd make here is that you are never going to see a higher fps rate than the rate that your monitor refreshes at. So even if you have a suped up high end video card that tells you that you are seeing 120 fps....in reality you are only ever going to see the 60 or 75 fps that your monitor is capable of delivering.

The real test for a video card therefore, is not how high is the fps, but rather what fps rate does it deliver under full load. And if that figure is anywhere near the fps rate of your monitor then you are in great shape.
