what is the advantage of the extreme frame rates most of the newer cards offer?
Probably because if it is capable of a high frame rate, it will waste very little time drawing at a lower rate. And anyhow, modern computers do refresh at a higher rate than 24: 90 FPS is not that uncommon, to minimize flicker.
Thanks Carlos, I'm not sure I would notice the difference above 30 or 40 fps, but I was aware that computers (and cards) are capable of much more than that. I thought that perhaps something else in the animation process was enhanced by the higher rates. -- ED --
