First of all I hope this is in the right section :)

I have a question regarding frames pr. second. In good old crt days, fps were everything, and with a good monitor you could actually use the +100fps for something.

Now with my new 24" tft running @ 60hz, is that just the max number I should aim for?

I mostly play CSS, and do feel that +100fps gives a smooth movement, just a little more snappy, but it seems to me that I get some odd waving lines in the middle of the screen when I make some moves.

So is the ultimate goal just to get 60fps when using a DVI/TFT monitorsignal?
 
Yeah I figured it was something with the high fps count that made the issues with the tearing, although it looks more pronounced in CSS compared to Q4 for instance?

But I will aim for a constant 60fps instead - almost there with 1gb ram, p4 3.2ghz and 6800gt, tommorow I'll install X2 4400, 2gb ram and X1900XTX, so hopefully it will succed :)

In CS_militia I still hit 20-40 in some areas with heavy fight..

With the Source engine everything can happen really, also really bad stuff :)
So I just hope it will work, perhaps even add a few more details..

Davey I am not expert either but I reckon it also got a lot to do with the engine. And perhaps tearing is just more visible on a tft?
 
Cheers for the input..
The dual core is not really bought in the light of gaming, I normaly work a lot in Photoshop, Painter and various web related software in one go, so I figured it would suit me better.
But the ATI should from what I have heard be better to handle 1920x1200 resolution compared to the 6800gt.. or else I would feel really stupid :)
 
Aah ok :)

I tried looking for some AMD x2 vs P4 HTT benchmarks, and it seems that the X2 is doing really well compared to the P4 (also in gaming) - are there some good and well documented tests I could look at, just to get a clearer picture of my upgrade - would be very happy to see some good tests (most of the ones I found did not include my old Northwood, so it almost seemed like it was not really interesting in terms of performance any more).
