I'm very interested in gui floating around in hardware accelerated heaven. MacOSX and Iphone is very nice that way, and I look forward to see an amazing implementation of animation, antialiasing and user feedback effects in Windows 8 (provided they do not overdo it and slow the user down :)

Is there a set framerate Direct2D renders at, or is it limited to CPU and GPU speed? I have a CRT at 85hz, and I am looking into 120hz LCDs such as the GD245HQ or Alienware OptX AW2310. People can see difference of 60 and 120hz, and that makes the UI and mouse feel more responsive and smooth.

What im trying to say is I want 120fps gpu accelerated gui in Windows 8. I get about 32fps today, thats what Fraps say, at least. Even when i'm not recording.
