    my T61p with quadro fx570m which i changed the drivers to Geforce 8600 following another thread here and i am still at 60fps? i will be moving into University in september and i knwo i am going to game but a 256Gddr3 graphic i can't possiblily be getting 60fps, my 512Gddr2 desktop gets 100fps in CS 1.6 and i have changed the settings already too on the laptopa. fps_max 101
    cl_updaterate 101
    rate 25000
    net_graph2 to check my fps

    here are my settings

    Renderer - OpenGL
    Display Mode- widescreen
    Resolution - 1600 x 1000
    color quality- highest 32bit

    also, if the Geforce drivers don't make preformace alot better than i think i will go back to quadro drivers becuase i heard that the Geforce drivers will heat up the laptop more. i played 3 hours of AOE 3 at my friends house on lan on high performace and the top left of my laptop was burning hot literally and people have always said IBMs had a really good at cooling? but mine gets extremely HOT

    Sounds like vsync might be locking you up at 60 fps. Try turning it off and see if that helps.

    Yup. vsync = vertical sync.

    Not sure why everything went dark for you though. Which version drivers are you using?

    Why does it matter? Can you tell the difference between 60fps and 100fps?

    100 fps is necessary in order to shoot any automatic weapon at their maximum speed. EX: 100 fps = 30 bullets from an m4 in 3 seconds, 60 fps with the same gun = 30 bullets in 5-7 seconds.

    Turn vsync off and set fps_max to 101 in game.

    i wonder how people even get kills in Crysis if the kills is based on FPS. 30 bullets in 25 FPS = 1 bullet per hour?
