copied!<p>The short answer is, you can't (in general).</p> <p>For best aesthetics, most windowing systems have "vsync" on by default, meaning that screen redraws happen at the refresh rate of the monitor. In the old CRT days, you might be able to get 75-90 Hz with a high-end monitor, but with today's LCDs you're likely stuck at 60 fps.</p> <p>That said, there are OpenGL extensions that can disable VSync (don't remember the extension name off hand) programmatically, and you can frequently disable it at the driver level. However, no matter what you do (barring custom hardware), you're not going to be able to display complete frames at 200 fps.</p> <p>Now, it's not clear if you've got pre-rendered images that you need to display at 200 fps, or if you're rendering from scratch and hoping to achieve 200 fps. If it's the former, a good option might be to use a timer to determine which frame you should display (at each 60 Hz. update), and use that value to linearly interpolate between two of the pre-rendered frames. If it's the latter, I'd just use the timer to control motion (or whatever is dynamic in your scene) and render the appropriate scene given the time. Faster hardware or disabled VSYNC will give you more frames (hence smoother animation, modulo the tearing) in the same amount of time, etc. But the scene will unfold at the right pace either way.</p> <p>Hope this is helpful. We might be able to give you better advice if you give a little more info on your application and where the 200 fps requirement originates.</p>
