What the heck the darn switches for seeing your frame rates and everything was under D3?

It's horribly inaccurate though, better to use the free version of Fraps, you can get it from http://www.fraps.com

frametime

OR

framelength.

And it aint THAT inaccurate. And who cares anyway? Hell, even the cheapest nastiest PC you could buy can probably pull 250 FPS in D3 at 1024 mode.

More important is to tweak your refresh rates, so you actually see the greatest percentage of the frames your GFX card renders.

Actually that is what my problem is, I don't think I am getting all that great framerates, and I should be getting some pretty dang good ones.

Give us some detailed specs, what CPU / video card you are running, how much ram you have, what resolution you are playing at, if you are using opengl or direct3d and the command line you are using to run the game.

I did some checking and I am getting pretty good frame rates in SP, but it seems like in MP I get some tearing. I am going to do some more playing around tonight.
