I am using the same resolution (800x600) (gl_mode 4) for both my desktop and Q2 so the monitor doesn't "restart" during the transition.  At this resolution, refreshlock lists 120 hz as the frequency, so I locked in at that and its pretty damn smooth in-game.

Are you setting cl_maxfps at 100 to match your refresh rate naymlis?

This is from GGL's interview with Toxic, the #1 Q4 player in the world.

"Would you sign a deal with a company to advertise TFT monitors?

If that makes me more money then win the tournaments sure, why not. But I don't believe TFT is good enough for pro gaming at this time. It doesn't matter if the time to update the screen is fast. If you can't have 120Hz on the monitor it doesn't matter at all because when they use TFT's, the skill of the players sinks a lot and it will not be as interesting to watch if the skill level goes down."
