I think I agree with terror, you're wasting time trying to do all these tricks to get 1000FPS stable. While I respect your choice to run it because you think it's better, I think it's a worthless attempt to justify the time spent on trying to get the results you want when you;
- Have OS latency to contend with
- gettimeofday latency / not counting at a fixed rate (even with TSC or HPET driving it)
- Have a closed source engine filled with issue (ie: sourcetv, writing to a directory with huge amounts of files in it)
FWIW there is no way at all you/I could tell the difference in a clinical trial.
The article you 'posted' doesn't mention anything that was already known, it's based on an old article that was published by a non valve-employee and added to their support section. It's not an official response from valve on it. Source is different than OB.
