But, it's why we buy the video cards. The whole frame rate thing is part of
being a PC enthusiast. If we didn't care about that stuff we would all just
be playing our games on the XBox. Overclocking, heatsinks, watercooling,
etc, etc, is all about loving the PC experience. I'll bet that a lot of
people in this and other newsgroups don't really play these games, they just
run them to appreciate the fine points of 3D display and to optimize their
current system to run them the most efficiently. It's not about the game,
it's about the PC and the video card, and performance.
