hi

i play battlefield 3 and get around average 80FPS, my monitor is only 60hz, when i play games and it say 80fps am i actually seeing 80fps or am i seeing 60fps because of my monitor?

please stick to the subject, i read some forums out there where a guy asks about a monitor, then somehow the convo ends up being about elephants

cheers
