I didn't see any lower than 76.

I believe my monitor is set at 60Mhz. So does it really make much of a difference that my in game frame rate is exceeding it by quite a bit? The game runs smoothly and I don't notice any performance issues so I'm not worried about it. Just curious. In fact the game runs so much more smoothly that I find my game play has improved a bit.
Refresh rate (60Hz) doesn't matter with LCDs and it doesn't matter unless you get screentearing in which case you turn on V-Sync.
