Hi there,
I found a strange thing. I run a Phenom X4 965 BE@ 4Ghz with a GTX 570 on a TFT with 1690x1050. I ran some benchmark with different resolutions and different Antialiasing settings and get almost identically 59 to 60 avg. fps. There is no difference if the game is running on 1280x720 with AA out or 1680x1050 with 8xmsaa. And no, vsync is turned off. In the benchmark there are some peaks of 71 fps, so vsync actually is out. Is it a coincident, that in graphics the refreshing rate of the tft is set to 59? Is there a internal vsync which can't be turned off. There must be some explanation.
Here is my hardware_settings_info:

I had a gtx 460 before and nearly the same results, something seems odd.
