Did you select the AH program and then change the settings to vsync on? (Image removed from quote.)

I think Challenge may be correct. Make an Aces High profile and u should be able to enable Vsync. Looks like global setting may not allow you to do this. If not call Tech support. Its like a guys doesn't ask for directions when they get lost.

Don't think I will be going SLI or in my case Crossfire.

Read SLI specifications it states vsync can't be enabled while in SLI mode. Has something to do with the need to split the video image across two cards.

I've been researching this for almost a week now.  It seems that there are some with issues like the ones I'm experiencing but that vsync works in SLI with alternate frame rendering for the vast majority of users (but to enable vsync in SLI you have to turn off triple buffering).

I have frames set to unlimited under options. It sometimes dips to 59 in the tower or 58 near heavy smoke and flames.

EDIT: I forgot photobucket loves to rescale my screenshots.

Getack,

I benchmarked 12,500 with 1 ATI 3870(512) video card. With 2 3870's(Crossfired) I went to 15,500 in 3DMARK06. That's a nice improvement in performance. 20%

The last headhunter to call me reported 16000 applications for the same position.

Pay double for 20% improvement doesn't appeal me much..
