Sigh... every time there's a topic like this I always have to step in and teach a class. Everyone is right about the fact that your FPS is being limited because of your refresh rate, but if you still want FPS higher than that even though you can't see the difference, turn VSYNC off.

Increasing the refresh rate over what your monitor can support will perminently damage your graphics card, monitor or both, rendering them useless.

Most LCD monitors support up-to 75Hz, whereas CRT (the big ones) support up to 80Hz.

No it will not damage your monitor/video card. If the screen displays fine, it's fine. If the monitor doesn't support it, it will either NOT show up in the list of refresh rates or your screen will turn BLACK. It won't run a refresh rate it cannot run. If it did, then everyone's monitors would fry. I've been running 85hz for yeeaaars, and my room hasn't caught on fire.

I must be inhuman then; I can see above 85Hz. Sarcasm

I can see flickering at 85hz too (on a CRT), but as far as game FPS goes, I can't really tell much past 60.
