[Semi-Solved] Vsync

[Neosporin]

Vsync has impact on FPS, if not, it should be come as default without option because it's a good thing to prevent tearing. Or how come your fps drops?

It's only dropping in this game, it doesn't drop in Doom or any D3D games. A lot of newer games do come with Vsync enabled by default, FYI . I also like how you're asking me what the problem is, considering I made this thread asking what the problem is XD

Vsync is short for vertical synchronization and it should synchronize with my monitors refresh rate, 60 FPS. That's how it works, and the only time I've noticed performance problems with the setting is when it only renders what is synchronized and falls behind during heavy load, but that's where triple buffering comes in.

Your resolution is bigger than I imagined. It should be something with external settings, which I don't have much experience and I always use HDMI. I played Amnesia on a LCD TV on fullscreen and I didn't have any trouble.

If by external settings you're referring to CCC settings, I've been over them all. I have a lot of experience with Catalyst settings and I understand what they all do, that's why this is all the more confusing. I also use RadeonPro to force certain settings for profiles. Also, if you're playing on an LCD TV, it's more than likely it's only 720p (1280x720), which isn't really comparable to (1920x1200).

As for drivers, it's always the case that they are bad, not good, and nearly zero support for Linux. I managed to play Homecoming with an antique card of nVidia with newest drives, while ATI still struggles with newer cards. Best hardware, worst software.

Using Windows 7 with the most recommended recent drivers as posted on the Guru3d forums, and given my experience with the vast amount of professionals that use that forum I'll take their word

As for an update, Vsync does NOT work in Windowed mode as I had thought, drops down to 30 FPS.
