For the record, I can't run the screensaver at 60fps either. I only have a GeForce MX4. I have been waiting for the price of NVidia's GeForce 6600 GT 256Mb to get low enough for me to buy it. Now that more advance video cards are coming out, I just might get my wish.

We are not doing much video games anymore and I haven't had time to play video games so to justify buying the best video card is out of the question. This also helps to make sure that the lower end video cards can still use the screensaver.

If we raise the requirement to DirectX9 instead of DirectX7, we may be able to get a little more optimizations in the code however, the bottleneck is the amount of textures being manipulated by the screensaver. I am looking at possible solutions to speed it up as soon as I find some time for it.

Edit: I think I saw this video card in Best Buy for about $160. I am sure other places may have it too.
