Is my graphics card working to full potential?

FPS = frames per second

TV and movies are in the 25-30fps range. Anything >30fps is effectively seamless and smooth as far as your eyes have been trained to notice.

I am not sure if this helps... but this is what I realised...:

with hardy, it seems there are issues with proprietary nvidia / ati drivers (I have nvidia 8600M GT). some how I managed to get the nvidia proprietary driver working but had noticed some sluggishness while switching apps with alt-tab. But the concrete evidence came when I hit upon a site to test my LCD:

http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/

on this there is one test for response time, which has a test for "Input lag test" there if the frame drop shows up in red it means there is something wrong with driver... mine shows at 30 to 40 with proprietary driver. But with old Daryna with properly working driver, it stays within 3 to 7.

POLARBEAR,

You have been asked/warned about the caps several times. What is it going to take for you to see the light?
