App is capped at 60FPS?
If I use FRAPS to measure your framerate, it tells me a value much higher than what your framerate counter gives me (about 160 vs 60). There must be a bug in how you're measuring framerate...you're not using GetTickCount, are you?
Same here...I'm getting around 210 with the Fraps counter vs. 66 with your own counter. Before reading MJP's post I was thinking that you probably locked the framerate with some screen updating function and you forgot about it...but if this was true Fraps would have also reported the same FPS. So there is definitely something wrong with your counter.

Ahhhhhhhh. Ya, I'm using GetTickCount(). What should I be using instead?
Better timers include timeGetTime() (Up to 1ms resolution in theory), and QueryPerformanceCounter() - but that has all sorts of other problems. Have a look on Google on GDNet, and you should find a few posts about the problems.
