    62 fps on my desktop at 1440x900 that is my max res and also 62 fps on my XPS M1730 at 1920x1200.

    Actually the settings didn´t lower the framerate at all in fact.

    You should do a before & after to show the difference otherwise there is no real way to tell what has changed.

    I personally prefer an animated gif to show this but just 2 jpegs of the same frame work too.
