16 bit colors?

test out if ur pc can force vsync by lowering refresh rate
if u can use vsync, set ur monitor hz manually to 125 and force vsync.

If ur hardware is capable of 125 fps/120 Hz u dont need vsync.Vsync adds input lag to mouse and keyboard and I rather not start how bad this gets on lcd's...even a fast one like mine.Fifa 08 for example is not much affected by this but in quake it becomes unbearable.On my old CRT I clearly remmember input lag as well,with vsync enabled in quake sens felt more "smooth",but this was a false feeling,actually it was delaying on the screen and shooting was delayed as well (mouse buttons).

Reno what do u mean by graphics shred? If u wanna try lower res u can try cranking up the details settings in drivers,AA+ANISO all the way to the max to compensate for lower amount of pixels.
