KevinLancaster Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I wanted to keep v-sync on due to the game having no frame cap in the menu and the maximum core usage as a result, however in-game it seems to cap my maximum framerate at 30 and causes drops below. Is there a performance level you should be able to make before turning on v-sync? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danpaul88 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Vsync means a frame won't be rendered until the monitor is ready to display it, which means that if the monitor refreshes every 10ms and it takes 11ms to render a new frame then you'll only see a new frame on screen every 20ms. If you're seeing 30 FPS then your system is probably not quite capable of hitting 60 fps so it ends up halving the frame rate since each new frame is slightly too late for the next refresh and then waits for the refresh after that one In practice you'll see exactly what you'd see with vsync disabled but it'll avoid rendering more often than it can sync with the monitor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
