thanks for the response.

If we want our refresh rate equal to our frames per second
we can get the best picture.  If we're talking 240hz that's great.
I've run across a Linux program called driconf which can vary
that but it only works for OpenGL in Linux.  I remember when
glxgears was used and people thought their monitors were
super based on FPS over what their refresh rate could handle.
