Well, vsync basically says "generate however many frames per second you want, regardless of the refresh rate."

I'm not sure why this generates smoother animation on some systems. Probably a timing issue.

I have dxdiag set to 85 refresh. And I run the Aquarium 1024x768 16 bit. That's the sum total of my tweaks.

I do turn on 2x anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering sometimes because the fish look better, but the blurring effect on the coral is frustrating. Also, FPS drops to 40. Also, if I turn off anisotropic filtering but leave on AA, some of the coral is sharp, some is blurry.

I am anxious for the 3D background and hope Jim will not shy away from 4-bit or 8-bit alpha.
