BECAUSE FULL SCREEN EXCLUSIVE MODE IS LOCKED AT YOUR MONITORS REFRESH RATE - DESPITE WHAT SYNC RATE YOU USE.

I never get more than 75fps in fullscreen mode.

You'll also find tha using exclusive mode enables certain extended features of your Video card, especially with GeForce cards I've found, but are not available in Windowed or Full screen windowed mode. Besides, sounds like you need a new keyboard anyway lol.

What is your machine's spec? 39Fps is pretty slow in Exclusive mode unless it's doing a lot.

Well, your new machine is, how should I say, up to the job! Hell it's faster than mine <sob> But I'm sure your frame rate will be a nice cool 60-80 frames in exclusive mode, depending on your monitor's refresh rate.
