what is the advantage of the extreme frame rates most of the newer

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.

Higher refresh rates are just eye friendly, for people that spend a lot in
front of monitor. Nothing else.


Thanks Rajko;
Then, to get back toward the subject, I should get satisfactory
improvement with any of the cards discussed in this thread (I am usin
SuSe 10.1 on an AMD 64 box). I have integrated video now, and glxgears
runs pretty smooth now, although I don't remember the frame rate, it's
been a while.
