right, Goliath - thanks for that link. Thats the technical way of saying what Ive been saying: higher FPS leads to greater velocity and greater speed. And in the COD engine, the same kind of "rounding out" that is described in that net article happens for other vertual renderings like speed and inertia.

The COD engine is not the simple Q3 engine as such. It is a developed form of the MD4 Q3 engine that was used in MOH (which in turn came from Heavy Metal F.A.K.K). This engine always rounds up, never down, over any given number of frames. Hence, the greater the FPS, the greater accumulation of rounding ups.

While I really don't notice the speed difference, there is no doubt that the extra fps make you go faster, I can make certain jumps now that I could never do with with the lower frame rate.

saaay... any ideas on my perceived lag issues in previous post?

jumping out of the map in Stanjel
In Dawnville & Neuville there are a couple of spots that can only be got to with 125FPS (or another "sweet" setting)
Google "cod jumpers" and download a few demos. I don't think the extra is achieved through "velocity" or "inertia", but rather through a mathematical rounding anomaly.
Not at all. i can make the stanjel and nueville jumps on my 6800u(91fps), radeon x600 (60fps) or my 7900gt(200fps). I personally do not see or feel a difference between 90 and 125fps, 60 feels slower, and anything above 125 get choppy because my computer has to wait for the server to catch up.

Try reading the posts in this thread, and not just cheery picking those little bits you want to reply to.

I still think it's weird though, it's only happening in the Q3 Engine? it sounds pretty fubar'd to me then :p
