Catalyst 11.7 V-sync issue

[fr1dd]

Check your monitor settings. Try catalyst 11.6

ATI cards and software has a terrible work with v-sync. Turn off the mouse smoothing.

Thx for reply. Unfortionally turning off mouse smoothing did not work. My monitor settings are correct and reinstalling Catalyst 11.6 seems to be the only way to resolve the issue.
It's just that who wants to stick around with a previous driver when the benefit for other things can be very good with the latest? It's not that I won't but I think it's lame that a WHQL driver can cause this severe maximum FPS lock. And it's not only one but two of my notebooks which have different hardware/OS but shares a common thing. Both have ATI graphics and Catalyst 11.7.
The issue also occurs in other game titles as Quake 3 but I won't take that further because this is a Frictional Games forum after all.
I have sent the feedback to AMD but I don't think it will matter cause there are alot of people that always play without v-sync. And this I can't understand. You may laugh but playing without vsync totally ruins the atmosphere and details in games IMO. It's like buying a new car full of scratches and say: I don't care. No one will notice it when I drive fast on the highway.

Alot of text. But I feel a little bit lighter now .
Forum looks nice btw.
