Vsync problem

[Lateksi]

Why, exactly, is locking your FPS at 60 bad? I normally run around 32 FPS, so what does Halo normally render at?

If you're used to 100-300 fps you will find locked 60 fps has slow "response time".

The moment you run a game at 40fps+ you won't notice any lag unless it drops below 30fps. Having a fps in the 100's does not make a game better.

This is just plain wrong. I can easily tell a difference in responsiveness. When vsync automatically turns on in the middle of a game, I can immediately tell the difference without even looking at my FPS overlay thing.

Most people who claim to have 100fps+ usually fluctuate all the way back down to around 50fps at times no matter how good their rigs are.

Um, do you realize how old of a game we're talking about here? I built this computer nearly two years ago and my FPS in CE never gets close to 50.

Please leave the "you should want vsync on!" posts out of this thread from here on out. I want it off, and that's that. I just need help getting it to stay off.

My computer must suck, I get 30 fps even with vsync off...

Looks someone wants to develop superhuman eye vision capable of seeing past 60 fps.

this is why we have build in motion blur settings in our brain.

you are so misinformed its not even funny

The whole thing about the human eye not being able to see more than 60 or 45 or w/e fps is debatable.

What my eye can discern isn't even the point, though. I can tell the difference between 60 fps and 100+ fps by the responsiveness of my mouse movements.

Agreed, I've always wondered why no one else found that :|

wtf does not having a great system have to do with being able to run vsync? (please tell me you know what vsync is) im saying if you had a computer that can reach much higher fps without vsync on... I also say vsync = quality because with vsync off, there is the possibility of tearing. vsync provides the most consistent visual experience. people who go for performance are trying to max their fps and often run on lower settings to achieve them. in todays day and age, anyone with a descent build can run halo on max settings with good enough fps (im talking in the mid hundreds) to the point where going any further in lowering their settings to get higher fps is pointless.

I notice it makes my movements more smoother than it would if I had it off. Don't be angry with me.
