Vsync: What setting do you use?

[fakemcfarland]

Feel free to post your system specs and how things run. (mouse lag, low fps, ect.)



I personally never play a game without Vsync, as the tearing bugs the hell out of me.

I use the program D3DOverrider to force Vsync with Triple buffering and have the in-game setting "off".

PhenomII quad 3.8 oc
4 GB 1600 ram
Radeon HD 4850 1gb ddr3

Game runs at about 40fps on High 1600x900 res with "low" shadows. Dips sometimes during artillery and smoke and I get occasional stutters.

I've never had vsync on. Never needed it, never used it, on any game.

 

[Pyros777]

On. Hate tearing.

AMD T1100
HD6870
16GB RAM

1920x1080
All options maxed or set to on except for hardware physics.

Average 30fps everywhere, with some areas at 40--50fps, and others at 20-25. Overall it is very smooth and I have no problem killing stuff.

I'll use it even if it runs like ****.

I can't stand screen tearing.

Yup. I can stand stuttering and some mild screen chop. I cannot under any circumstances stand tearing.

 

[PermenentMarker]

Never used it, not sure what screen tearing is.

Never really noticed it.

Phenom 965 @ 3.6Ghz
4gigs ram DDR800
GTX260-216 (driver Nvidia 275.3)

1920*1080
Ultra everything, high shadows
No bloom, yes blur, no AA

40 fps at worst
50 average
60 at best

Rare occasional stutter.

I never use v-sync, it makes aiming laggy as ****.

Even though I have a GTX 570 and am constantly pushing more than 60 FPS on all my games, I don't get any screen tearing.

 

[Proud_God]

Smoothness > small graphical quirk I don't even notice anymore. So yeay, V-synch off for me.

 

[TheRealGunther]

I never use it I find it drops 10 fps using it at times or more.Just depend on if you get tearing or not In RO I get no tearing.

 

[Yellonet]

I tried it and 60 fps but it isn't smooth enough for me, besides, my GPUs get equally stressed with vsync on as is with it off...

 

[Rumpullpus]

used to play with it on but never really saw any improvements over what it looked like off so i just turned it off hoping i might get better FPS, i dont think it worked though.

 

[WingmanSR]

vsync + triple buffering. Always.

 

[Richey79]

Screen tearing doesn't bother me.

Input lag does.

 

[Krobar]

I chose "Whats Vsync do?" but I know one thing it does for me, causes ungodly amounts of lag.

Kinda strange how people report aiming/input lag with such beefy systems.

I have a 5 year old PC and I run RO2 with vsync, nothing close to input lag for me. In fact I haven't experienced such a thing in a long time.

So top of the line 5 years ago with upgrades? My 4 year old PC runs like crap with medium settings and at times even low.

My brand new gaming rig runs like crap at times with setting on medium (12-21FPS) and then runs amazingly well with settings maxed (30-60FPS). This game blows everything we know about conventional gaming specs out of the water

My 5 year old PC runs this game just fine on Medium (textures high, shadows/decals off) I get around 60 fps, sometimes dipping to 40 fps

Specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
2 GB DDR2-667U RAM
9800 GTX+

AMD Athlon 64 x 2 Dual Core +4400 + (2 CPUs), ~2.3GHz

2GB Ram

ATI Radeon HD 5450 ~1.7 GB video memory.

I want 60FPS I get 30 on medium-low right now.

I crammed a GTX260 in there a few years ago, and some extra RAM (4GB 800mhz DDR2), but it's still on a AMD X2 5200+ 2.4ghz.

It's pretty low range these days. Does not like RO2 on anything over 32 players.
