Hi xitrum

My sense is that you can set your video card on your PC to 24fps and still allow MA to run at 30fps. The MA3 code can throw more frames per second at the video card than the card can throw at the TV. You're just seeing 24 of the 30 frames per second.

In the days of MA2 we would test our systems by seeing how high we could get the frame rate. As I write this I'm running MA2.6 for the Mac at 1920x1200 fullscreen and it's showing over 300fps. This on a 60Hz LCD monitor.
Reasons people don't watch Star Trek:
60% - It’s for nerds.
39% - The show’s stupid.
01% - My parents were killed by Klingons and it's still too painful.
