Desktop vsync?

[Radiation]

I posted this recently in the windows and software forum but its probably better off here.

I have searched google and all i really found was an old post in groups and apparently it was working back then but got taken out of the nvidia drivers, well im wondering if there's a reg key that can do this now or some other way?

This is for XP using latest nvidia drivers on a 6800GT and a dell 2005fpw tft monitor.

Thanks.

im not sure what your asking here, seems like a v-sync for the 2d desktop?
can you clarify..

Yes i think thats exactly what he wants, a constant 60fps when using the pc for everything 2d related, but no vsync in 3d games, i would like to know the same so if you know post it here mate.

why would you want this?

Why wouldnt you? Stop tearing, move your i.explorer across your screen and you will see its not all together.
Its not a big deal but its something, im sure there are programs out there that would benefit, im sure my digitv was tearing once or might have been a video, most likely down to the source itself but might have been running higher than 60fps.

my windows dont move when i drag stuff -> performance options on.

I just get outline dragging.

If i move things horizontal the edges of the window I can see tearing, its nothing really.

Yeah vsync for all windows use not just opengl or directx based 3d, i do use it for most games because i don't like the tearing on a tft, like i said its nothing major just something that i finally decided to check out and after searching google it gives next to no useful info except there may have been a reg tweak for nvidia drivers and that vista will put an end to it because it goes through a (i think it was) better/3d engine and macs are ok.

Someone must know?

I don't like to reply to myself but this seems kind of strange, really is no one else now wanting the same because there's little to no info on the net and im sure everyone would like this option if its possible.

Is vsync possible on the desktop for everything 2D?

If it is then what do we do to get it working?
