Thanks for the link, Blakhart !!

Sure looks good, and appears to be living up to the expectations!

Just a general question: I still don't understand how a vid card can have a higher fps than the refresh rate of the monitor !?!?!?

Lets say my mon is at 100Hz refresh. My vid card, on the other hand, tosses out 200+ fps in my game. If you run vsynch, as I do, then only 100fps or lower is drawn by the card. It matches the ref rate. This gets one a better image.

I think this is what happens, at least.
