crysis vsync? not working

Mikoyan · 14 Nov 2007 at 16:26

thank you will try that! :cool:

Makes no difference here at all -

Monitor 60hz / Crysis 25 - 30fps.

VSync will do nothing.

i made sure it was off in the autoexec file on my crysis directory, gave me a few extra fps

Trust me you don’t want v-sync in Crysis

why?

you must be right, we are all imagining that we see the image tear...

i'm not saying you're not getting tearing, i'm saying that the tearing you're getting is NOT going to be fixed by v-sync.

allow me to ellaborate. all V-Sync does is artificially limit your framerate to that of your monitors refresh rate. if your framerate is less than that of your monitor, V-sync WON'T HELP!

:rolleyes:

Why don't people understand this?

If your refresh rate of you monitor is 60hz, then vsync will LOWER your framerate to 60fps.

As pretty much everyone on the planet doesn't have a machine that can run crysis at those framerates (on decent settings

) then vsync s not going to actually be doing anything other than trying to force a SLOW fps to run faster.

Yes, we get you, you have tearing, but it aint got anything to do with the monitor, as the game isn't trying to run faster than the monitor can support, thus the problem will lie elsewhere...

ive just been told that apparently the 169.01 drivers solve the vsync issue with crysis to anyone having issues with really bad tearing

Soz to go off topic but will Fraps work in retail Crysis as i cant get it to work on the demo?

something daft already!! · 14 Nov 2007 at 21:55

Fraps works fine for me in the demo. Can the OP try installing fraps and get a screen grab of the tearing as it may be caused by something else? When I experience tearing, its like chunks of the screen are behind ie top to bottom, horizontally split.

Look, I am sure you are right in theory, but that doesn't change the fact that I get image tearing on every single game. And if I turn V sinc on, the image tearing is gone.

I wish I could create a screen to prove it.

I just checked it again to be 100% sure, and even at 25fps, if I move my mouse really quickly, no tears, and if I have v sinc turned off, I get major tearing.

According to the nV drivers, forcing v-sync doesn't work in DirectX/D3D apps - it has to be done ingame.

And for what it's worth, from what I've read in the past: V-sync doesn't just cap your framerate to the frequency of the monitor, it also synchronizes the image from the frame buffer. So AFAIK you can still have image tearing when going lower than the freq. of the monitor (without v-sync).
