wtf?

why should vsync improve the performance???

vsync eliminate tearing by not more than 60 frames p. s. are allowed.! nothing more and nothing less.

As far as I know it affects screen tearing which is most noticeable when making quick movements in-game. Turning it on basically eliminates this while giving a very slight, if even noticeable, performance hit. :)

Turn it on. It limits and sincronices the frames to your monitor refresh rate, betther and smooth perceptual movement.

Per NVIDIA control panel, turn off vsync for higher performance and benchmarking. Turn on for better image quality and reduce horizontal tearing.

if you have no tearing don't turn it on:-)

S!

For some reason the tearing is the same if I have VSync on or off, even slightly better if Off in game. So I left it off. FPS is about the same with or without it but somehow smoother feeling with it off.

Vsync seems working with aero off, but it is not smooth (win7 64b)

Same here.

It's weird, the new V-Sync caps my frame rate at 60 (so something is working) but I still get tearing.

vsync was one of the features I was most looking forward to in this beta patch but it's only limiting frames to 60fps and hasn't resolved the horizontal tearing. Oh well.

Vsync is working here with Aero ON!
Sorry... :mad:

Same problem, looks like fps is maxlocked to 60 but tearing is same.

My aero is on.

same here!!!
my PC specs in signature

I tried V sync and the frame rate was limited but there was still tearing.
So i turned Aero back on and tried again... no tearing !! yay V sync works :grin:

I just noticed that the V sync box was unticked but it was working anyway with areo turn on...
seems the ingame box doesn't work properly but turning aero on will get it working. At least on my system
