Hello.
I didn’t know where to post this so here it goes.
I have found out that in nVidia drivers 372.54 there is a new option called “Fast” inside VSYNC settings. According to the description it says (roughly translated from Spanish): “GPU renders without restrictions, but without distortions because frames above monitor refresh rate are discarded. It offers similar latency as VSYNC OFF but without distortions.”
I have been trying it with GD 1.0.0.5 just because I prefer to control vsync from inside videodriver control panel and it now seems that vsync inside GD isn’t working anymore (at least for me).
With this new nVidia setting and, according to Steam self fps counter monitor, GD is actually running at 2x current refresh rate -> 150fps. And yes, there is neither noticeable tearing nor input lag. Impressive.
Tested Left 4 Dead 2 for comparison sake and it’s running at 230+ fps. No tearing there either, but I guess the videocard must be working harder.
Has anyone tested this new setting? Opinions are welcome.
