Hey everyone,

I just ran a stress test on my XPS2, and I was a little distrubed with the results.. here are my settings

Stock Clocked 6800 ULTRA
Running 'Dell' 77.24 Drivers
Res 1440x900
no AA
no AF
everything on high
reflect world

average of 27FPS. I thought that it would run faster than that.. What is everyone else getting?

That's terrible. My 9300 gets way over 100 FPS at that resolution. Are you running on battery?

I just restarted my computer and turned off V-sync and I got 123 FPS in the stress test. Then I turned V-sync on and I capped at 59.... very strange any insite to this??

BTW.. no I haven't benchmarked it on 3DMark 05 yet.

Your LCD "refresh rate" is set to 60Hz, or 60 cycles/refreshes a second. Setting V-Sync caps your framerate at your refresh rate. V-Sync was designed originally for CRT monitors to prevent you from rendering frames at a faster rate than your monitor can update them, because that can cause "tearing" (I think it's called). I've never seen that phenomenon, but it probably looks like some sort of flickering or half-rendering of frames cause it's going too quickly for your monitor. Anyways, that 60Hz refresh rate for LCD screens works differently than CRT monitors, I think, so I think V-sync might not apply for LCD monitors (so you can disable it, if that's true).
