    Why on earth would you ever need 125 fps?

    I've been running it maxed out 1366x768 maxed out with no AA and it's smooth as butter.

    EDIT: In a 47 man game of Domination on Crash I was getting between 35 and 60 fps, which is high enough that the human eye can't really notice a difference.

    lol 35-60... there is a big difference playing with 125fps and playing with 60fps, especially in cod. 35-60fps is NOT smooth as butter, it's unplayable (for me at least). Want to see smooth as butter? I'll give you my config (or tweaks) which puts out constant stable 125fps, if you want :), you'll notice a big difference :)

    to OP: as I said above, I'm getting easy constant stable 125, when i switch maxfps to 250, it'll push 250 inside buildings

    I hope that you realize that the LCD panel is only capable of 60Hz. So it doesn't matter if the game engine is putting out 125fps, or 250fps, or 1000000000fps. You only get 60fps, because of the 60Hz LCD panel.

    If it floats from 50-60, I think that'd be fine for a game like CoD. 125 is plain ridiculous imo.
