VSync On/Off Survey

I would like to know how many off you have turned off VSync in your video card options? If you have, then Blitz will run at full frame rate when using Flip as opposed to Flip False: VWait which will sync each frame. I'm asking this as I can't decide on the default for my game to have. Please let me know either way thanks.

I leave it on in my driver and turn it off in some games.

Mine is set to application controlled

Turned it off so it's application controlled.

Mine has got an ALWAYS OFF setting and an Off unless application specifies, Also On unless App specifies and Always On. 4 options!

Most games offer the player the choice to have it on or off, why not let them choose :)

Application controlled.

Mine's app controlled. Note that using 'VWait : Flip false' doesn't guarrantee your display won't tear or be silky smooth, even if your game logic finishes with loads of time to spare before the next vsync signal. This was (still is) giving me problems recently, discussed here.

To sum up: PCs stink for smooth display updates. Buy a console.

by default vwait:flip false, but I always leave option to change that...

App controlled.

And my app uses flip false.

Thanks people. I have the option to change in my ini file.

By default my app uses flip false but I'm wondering if I should change the default.

Big10p, I responded to your thread, basically it worked fine for me 98% of the time.

Grey: Yeah, it's only really a problem when there are hoggy background processes running. Windows takes a timeslice right *between* the VWait and Flip False calls. Oh well.

Off

app controlled...

cause i don't know any better... :)

app controlled -- ATI Radeon

always off, I want fast updates, not lagged smooth ones.

Well, I generally don't bother with VSync - I generally alter it in game and very nearly always leave it disabled.

App controlled.

By the way, Flip False will send a certain number of laptop screens doolally.

App controlled here and any game that gives me the option, I turn it on. I hate those tears.

On for me. I can't stand to see that horizontal screen breakup (tearing?).

Which screens? The thing is, it isn't really possible to send an LCD dolally by not doing waiting for a refresh is it?

They update at their own rate... are you sure your experience was with Blitzmax?

I hate Tearing soo forced on here
