seems to work pretty good at controlling graphics

All that this program can do for you should have been included by microsoft from the start. This program is basically needed if you are going to call wgl_swapinterval in any way. With it you can tweak any monitor to sync well via the much more precise clock that is built in to the graphics card. It is simply needed for any good use of OpenGL applications.
