Exactly how reliable is this? I've seen mention of a hardcoded limit of 120, yet I am regularly seeing fps of 200+ being reported by the game....?

No, I do not have such a monster system, it is just that in certain situations, the reported fps just skyrockets and with the supposed hardlimit of 120 I am beginning to heavily doubt the correctness of whatever fps is reported...

Thats odd. It flickers around sometimes (the FPS number) but seems to work for me otherwise.

off ofcourse, drops like a brick if I turn it on, without any visible improvements (don't suffer from tearing in the first place)

Perhaps a dumb question but... are you using the command line option that turns the FPS cap off?

Also you said "certain situations", so what are they?

the card is a GFX5200U, the situations I see this happening is after turning away from something that caused a massive drop in fps (see LS's thread, think it is related somehow...), when whatever caused the slowdown is out of screen, for a moment the fps skyrockets to sometimes 200+ but mostly to 150-180 (which is totally NOT to be expected from my low-end PII460Mhz...

nope, not using the option turning of fps capping (didn't know there was one)

I have a 9800 and I can see tearing, it has nothing to do with the card and everything to do with the card being part way through flipping the back buffer when the monitor decides it's time to show the front buffer.
