wow, if that is your CPU temp, that IS good. That is not your internal case temp, right?

Swager if you cap out at 60 fps and don't have the framerate cap on, check your monitor refresh rate IN game...

If you use Windows2000 you NEED a prog called nvreffix to set your in-game refresh rate higher. This is due to a bug in nvidia drivers, the desktop refresh rate is not transmitted to 3d like it should!

You can choose from 60hz to whatever your monitor supports. Usually it's possible to play 1024x768 with at least 85hz. I would not suggest playing with anything less than 75hz refresh because that really kills the eyes.

Hey Ammo! It is my CPU Temp!

Mr. Rip. Thanks for advice. Can you give me some directions. Never did that before. I have Win98SE. Basically I have to cchange my Monitor Refresh rate right? Couldn't find it. Any help would be appriciated!

Also I cannot find my Vsync control for off and on. I looked under:

DISPLAY>SETTINGS>ADVNACED>THE GRAPHICS ADAPTER TAB>ADDITIONAL PROPERITIES>D3D SETTINGS TAB.

But nothing

Thanks

I think vsync is on by default in D3D with recent Nvidia drivers. You can d/l a shareware prog called powerstrip from http://www.entechtaiwan.com/ps.htm - it lets you overclock your displaycard, tweak it etc.
