With just a blank window, 640 x 480 in size, with opengl running in it shouldn''t the FPS be higher than 60 even when nothing is rendered?

It depends on your v-sync. Go to your video card options and turn off the v-sync and you should get a lot higher. If you turn it off though you''ll get artifacts (Like tearing and what not) so it''s better if you leave it on.

On mine (Radeon 9700 Pro) under the OpenGL setting theres an option that says, "Wait For Vertical Sync" with a default of off.
