Why it is important to disregard the frame cap?:
1. It shows the true potential of a piece of software to penetrate the hardware level and use it as acceleration.
2. Scalability. In the sense of bumping up resolution and post effects. See that 60 frames would seem insignificant. But when you bump up ‘eye candy’ if you will, you evidently lose performance. That browser at 60 frames now will not work so hot when it struggles whereas that other browser displaying 60 frames yet later is pushed and can take advantage of the OS functions will do much better as it was running the test at 80 frames but the extra rendering was disregarded by the monitor.
Although this might not seem practical, it does allow us to see what the product is capable of.
So it is ALWAYS better to have more performance than needed because it FUTURE PROOFS the product and thus justifies purchase.
