tearing

Hi all my games suffer from tearing.

Running a SyncMaster 913N (8ms) with a 2900XT card

I ahev to enable v-sync for every game

Is there any negatives of y-snyc except the max FPS of 60?

Also is it cos my monitor aint up to the job?

Doesn't bother me, just wondering if i lose any performance using v-sync

And with the BioShock demo, I agree tearing was rife!

I also get tearing on WoW, Doom 3. and GRAW2

All screens have tearing when v-sync is off and they always will, nothing to do with your particular screen. Turning v-sync on does incur a framerate hit though. You can use something like DXTweaker to force tripple buffering, and then the framerate hit from v-sync will be mostly eliminated. It's worth doing because tearing is pretty horrible.

DXtweaker, does it work for DX10 and Vista?
