30 on normal distance no view bobbing and fast graphics.
I keep smooth lighting though.

300-400 max graphics and moving around not fullscreen
500-600 fullscreen
Looking up, I get over 1k
Minimum graphics, 3k-4k.
I'm runnign a 3.4Ghz quad core AMD CPU, 12Gbs Ram, Radeon HD 5870 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 video card, and pulling the info off of a 60Gb Corsair SSD drive. Total PC cost: $2500 US.
*Edit* This is also with a Netflix movie playing on my other screen and 3 MC servers running in the background.

If you think the title and OP tells you everything you want to know about a thread, don't reply. If you want to actually read the thread and post an intelligent reply, you're welcome to it.
Okay, fine, earlier points about what can be seen refuted, my eyesight is indeed crap so I'll buy that. But where's your evidence for the graphics cards? For current and older cards, please.
I will acknowledge that 'melting' is a bit of an extreme word, but I basically meant 'overheating to an extent that the card no longer works'.

Even if your monitor can display more than 60fps, most graphics cards will only output 60.
If that's the case, then how are people getting bigger framerates? Whether I'm seeing it or not, the number is almost never below 60 for me.
The monitor thing sounds familiar though, that's probably where I'm getting 'can't see more than 60 fps' from - a hardware limitation rather than a user limitation.

1. running at high "fps" does not mean your card will melt. your probably getting confused with overclocking and people raising clock speeds "mhz"
2. A lot of newer monitors have 120hz refresh rates and the "can't see more than 60 fps" is just a big misconception that many people have.

You simply can't ruin a graphics card by using it. The only way to "overheat to an extent that the card doesn't work" is to overclock it (Which also increases the framerate). This pushes more voltage through the card, making it quicker, but hotter.
Whatever framerate your card produces, it's working at close to 100% capacity. My 6870 getting 90fps in COD4 is working just as hard as my 7600GT did at 24fps (It's actually doing a whole lot more work, with higher resolution, full AA and sampling etc). This is because the hardware is not only better inside, but designed to run faster and at higher voltages.
I COULD push the 7600 up to the same level. In theory. In practice though, that much extra voltage through that card would kill it. (Voltage = heat). Oddly enough, the 6870 takes MORE voltage, but uses it more effectively as well, and doesn't get as hot.
Even if I turned vSync on (Limiting my framerate to 60fps) my card will still be running at 100%, making 90fps. But only 60 will be sent down my monitor cable.
Far/Fancy: 15-25 FPS.
Far/Fast: 20-30 FPS.
Normal/Fancy: 20-30 FPS.
Normal/Fast: 20-30 FPS (More stable framerate.)
Short/Fancy: Stable at about 35 FPS.
Short/Fast: 40-70 FPS.
Tiny/Fancy: 60-80 FPS.
Tiny/Fast: Stable at around 100 FPS.

anywhere between 40 (big chunk updates) and over 300 depending on what i'm doing. running misa's 64x64 texture pack on max settings. no other mods/enhancements. 1920x1080.
windows 7 pro 64bit
intel core i7 940
6gb RAM
ati radeon hd 5800 series card
cpu hovers around 15% usage when chunks are updating, mem never goes past 40% used.
anything over 60 fps is a waste anyway. just adds to the e-peen.
Between 8 and 15 on normal, fast, and my custom x32 texture pack. (Unless I'm in my pyramid and I place/remove a block, in which case it drops to 0-1.)
I keep smooth lighting though.
