My explanation of how the timing works in MA3 illustrates the reason the feature is called "Limit Frame Rate", and not "Set Frame Rate". The number is the maximum frame rate that can be expected, no two frames are going to be exactly the same, and some could be substatially less.
The ONLY reason for this feature is to slow down systems that are putting out 200 or more frames per second, so they don't overheat. If the monitor is running at 60 hz, then the majority of those calculations would be wasted, and 2 out of 3 frames never shown. So technically, I should probably only allow a lower limit of 60, and I am becoming tempted to do so. (Maybe 50 for PAL systems.)
