I have never come across this in all my years of gaming and multiple Ati gfx cards – is this something peculiar to nVidia? Using VSYNC in every game I have limits the upper frame rate to the screen’s refresh rate, but does absolutely nothing to lower frame rates. I have always used it to limit frame rates this way and avoid ‘tearing’, and still do. It works this way for me in CloD currently.
