That's the key. Trying to let your GPU output more frames when your monitor (or cable for that matter) cannot display it is wasting energy. To answer the question that 20_range had though, you should set it to the lowest FPS value that you find tolerable. Your MAX should be what your monitor's refresh rate (rated in mhz). Your Min should be above 60 as that is what is recognizable by the human eye. What Markus is asking is if there is a noticable difference between 60 and 75, or 75 and 144...or in the most decked out rigs is there a difference in terms of smoothness of the animations between 144 and 240 (again, assuming your GPU, cable, and monitor are all actually rated that high).
