I'm often play gp4 with 100% laps. Now i set 35 FPS so i can't feel comfortable to race all 100% laps. I feel my eyes tired. I'm using 19'' LCD monitor. Can you help me how many fps i should set to feel comfortable to race? Thanks!

I've always been using 30 fps, as that's what's closer to NTSC's 29.97 fps. And my eyes never got tired of such a "low" framerate

Strange, my eyes got tired and blurry when I was still at 20 fps. But at between 25 and 30 fps no trouble at all.

What is ntsc, by the way?

NTSC is the american formatting for video games and the like.

Aussies like myself, NZ and the UK use PAL Format :)

50fps for me, smoothe as butter, would like to bump it up 60fps, but the resolution and detail i play at means its too hard.

you do notice a huge difference from going to a lower framerate at first, but your eyes should get used to it

IMHO 25fps are the base for playing GP4, while 30fps is recomended for really nice flow of graphics.
Now consider the refresh rate of your display.
Try to use a refresh rate value that is multiple of your GP4 fps rate.
E.g. if you use 25fps, set the refresh rate to 75(=25*3) or 100(=25*4).
if you use 30fps, set the refresh rate to 60(=30*2 - LCD only) 90(=30*3) or 120(=30*4) and so on.

So, for a 35fps I suggest setting your LCD refresh rate to 70(=35*2).
Or set your fps to a value that divides to integer your current LCD refresh rate.

I use this tweak for a long time and my eyes don't get tired anymore.

I'm using 28fps, fast enough for me.
