I have set the fps as 60 for each one application:



while I opened two application windows in the same machine, the fps are reduced to 30 for each application.

Why?

Believe me, I've asked the same question ad nauseum. Most opinions are that it's a limitation by syncing to the vertical retrace of the video card. My home machine comes in at 30 fps while my work PC runs at roughly 60.

I've found that running some things in the background can affect the frame rate. My torrent client pulls a lot of CPU and I lose as much as 10 fps when it's running.
