I barely get 30FPS on some of the most recent games. Half-life 2 occasionally hits 200fps(16AA), but as long as im running 16QAA it stays around 40-60. Huge difference between the two AAs.

People try to get their fps high for benchmarking comparisons.

Now monitors do go to 120hz. But I believe 60 is all you really need though. But if you had 100fps, at least you don't have to worry about performance issues.
