Do you use Vsync?

[anexcreed]

My HD 7770 doesn't push enough frames in most of my games like planet side 2 and cod, so I keep it off.

[anexcreed]

Don't use vsync cuz I play all my games fullscreen windowed :P

I don't see why that matters

[Jordrob]

I always turn it on, why have more FPS than my monitor can display?

[REDNINJA2012]

no because i don't need it

[Dr3nz4r]

Always turned off.. I don't even notice any difference when Turnign on/Off.. so it kinda seems senseless to spend my FPS to this feature.

[floppy disk]

I turn it on because I experience tearing. Maybe it is time to replace my old LCD monitor :(

Actually it does matter somehow but I don't understand. When I play starcraft 2 fullscreen with no vsync I get maddd tearing. When I play fullscreen windowed I get no tearing without vsync.

Depends on the game

BF3, Yes

Planetside 2, Yes

Call of Duty, No. I play this game competitively and could not stand playing any of the CoD games with < 125 FPS

Counter-strike, No

You DO know it doesn't eat your FPS right? It just limits it to the max FPS your monitor can handle.

I know.. but i used to mean that it just dont let me play above 60 fps.. if something immense happens i will get drops.. since im using 560ti i dont got adaptive vsync.. if i had i would use it

You have Adaptive Vsync on a 560Ti, at least I had with new drivers.

Lastest drivers just let black ops II crash.. i just went back to the 310.70... and i cant use adaptive vsync

hmm weird, seems like I remembered wrong, oh well

[SMuz]

No, I turned it off back in the day to get higher frames. I think I should turn it on now though since I get better than 60 fps.

VSync adds input latency which is bad news for most FPS games. How bad it is depends on the engine. Eg. Vsync and Valve's Source engine are a horrible mix. Tearing rarely bothers me.

[tidu]

I always have it on as my system is usually way too powerful for the games I play so locking the fps to 60 means I get lower temperatures and fan noise while gaming instead of pushing useless frames to my 60 Hz monitor.

[RhinoMcD]

For me, It depends on the game, I try it for 5minutes on, and 5 minutes off and see what feels better.

[Gmac]

Nvidia drivers adaptive vsync is the greatest thing ever. My setup will push 60+ fps with most things so i get really bad screen tearing. I also think tearing is the worst thing ever. What is the point of having a beast setup if it tears everygame. I never used vsync till i got my gtx670 but now i cant see me turning it off.

Nvidia drivers adaptive vsync all the benefits of vsync without any of the problems.

[Jozi]

After I bought 120hz monitor I don't use it anymore.

[Silverhand7]

It really depends on the game for me. I leave it off by default, but if I notice any screen tearing at all I turn it on. I find that in some games it's better to leave it off, as the framerate can be a bit skippy. Think of it this way, if you're not having screen tearing, then why not let it run at 150 fps (just as an example) and then if you take a 30 fps drop for a second or two then it stays above 60, but if you're at 60 and there's a drop, it goes below 60, which is very noticeable to me. So, as I said, just depends on the game, but I prefer it off most of the time.

Edit: Adaptive vsync is really good as well, but I only have that on for a few select games.

[Makaseo]

Always on!

Used to keep it off with my old laptop, as it slowed down lots of games to unplayable levels. Now that I have a new computer though, my framerates are high enough to notice the tearing that happens with vsync off.

[Flynn]

I pretty much always play in fullscreen windowed mode unless I'm playing the game on multiple monitors, most games have vsync disabled when you do fullscreen windowed, so I just don't bother even caring about the setting anymore.

[Domowoi]

For me it depends on the game. If it is a really fast shooter I usually leave it off. If the game runs under 60fps anyway I leave it off. If it is a slower game and I reach more than 60fps all the time I turn it on.

[zer0]

vsync ON since 1991

[s0nrise]

I have a 60hz monitor and a GTX 680, so i always use vsync.

It gives me a smother experience, and constant fps.
