Well, that's true, but even with vsync on, I'm getting 85 fps(my monitor's refesh rate) looking out my front windscreen during normal flight. Only when flying through smoke at a field will it dip lower. And that's with 1600x1200x32@85 with 4x FSAA and 16x AF.

The Radeon is a sweet card, whether vsync is on or off!

That can't be with it on (if it's working). No CRT monitor has anywhere close to a 400+ Hz vertical refresh rate. (LCDs usually only refresh at around 60 Hz.) Vertical sync is probably unchecked under the Direct 3d (or 3d tab on newer drivers) tab.

That monitor has a 77 Hz maximum refesh rate at 1600x1200 and 89 Hz at 1280x1024. If vsync was enabled, those would be your maximum possible framerates at those 2 resolutions.

Ok then how do you explain it???

bloom25 · « **Reply #10 on:** November 10, 2003, 07:05:59 PM »

Vsync isn't enabled (or isn't working because it's disabled under dxdiag).

mrblack · « **Reply #11 on:** November 10, 2003, 07:16:36 PM »

LOL you are correct sir.
Dang don't know how i could have missed that.
I set monitor refresh at 75 w V-SYNCH ON and guess what?
Thats where she stays LOL no matter what Furball smoke it dont matter 75FPS 4x FAA 2x AA 1600x1200res.
ATI Has my buisness for a long time.

Thx Bloom.

For AH especially it's best that vertical sync be on. If vsync is disabled only parts of each frame may be redrawn, which can result in some odd graphical anomolies. (You usually notice when vsync is off in first person shooters when you quickly spin around and the image tears because only part of it was redrawn. In AH this tearing is noticable when changing snap views if vsync is off.)
