Before I begin, I'd like to say that I'm not bragging about my amazing gaming rig in this thread. I just thought this was interesting enough to share.
Out of curiosity, I decided to see what sort of frame rate I was getting in osu!. I knew it was over 60 FPS, because the game looked silky smooth, but I wasn't sure of the exact number. I figured that since I could run Call of Duty 4 smoothly on maximum settings, I was probably running osu! at some ridiculously high frame rate, like 250 FPS. I was really shocked when I used FRAPS to find out my true frame rate:
It's over 9000! Divided by 5!
But, the question remains: if I get frame rates that high, why do I still lag from time to time?
