Kuron: thanks for the info, lots of cards there. Same on them all hey, tearing AND jerking? Do any have TFTs and what are the CPUs? Thanks. Also did you check if VSync On/Off in the drivers? btw, if you see my code above that I posted it so simple it has no timing functions so it's not at all similar to my Game Framework demo, in fact it's much more like that BMax zombie killer example (oh wait just remembered, the zombie example is full-screen and this is windowed mode). The tear is because I'm trying to Vsync and perhaps that also generates jerks on your cards/systems for some reason too? Maybe you have some common software (virus killers) etc running on all 3 eating system time? Anyway thanks for the info, it means that my Game Framework timing or the lag fix ISN'T causing the jerks on your systems, because none of that is in this VSync test, worth knowing (for me at least).

OEJ: Hmm, did you read my stuff about about which is best/worse and using Flip 0 etc. This thing about laptops buring power with flip 0, is that 100% proven? I mean it sounds logical ... but I wonder what other games do and how much battery power it really uses compared to CPU or HD etc?
