I currently have some old Flat Screen Dell 17" Trinitron. THe problem is that I get those jaggies on the screen due to the refresh rate (60) at the resolution that I like (16x12). So I need to use VSync and it really screws up my performance, even though I have 6800 gt. I was wondering about what refresh rate should I be looking at to get rid of those jaggies and not have to use VSync at 16x12 or above?
