Just a quickie explanation of vsync-  VSync basically tells the video card to synchronize their output with the monitor, so the video card caps (or 'locks' as some have put it here) its frame rate at the frame rate the monitor is running, if the video card is capable of displaying that framerate or more.  Since 90% of monitors run at 60fps, peoples' framerates most often cap at 60.

If you turn off vsync, the card will create as many frames as it can, and the framerate counter ingame will display what the card is doing, but it makes no difference to what actually is seen by the user on the monitor because the monitor cannot go faster than 60fps or whatever its refresh rate happens to be.

Sorry Ded I have a quad core i7 with a lower end GTS250. I am sure they will tax it more when we get some more updates.

That's true for the most part.  Although I had one coworker who for whatever reason could tell the difference between 60 and 75fps on her monitor.  She got eyestrain and headaches at 60, but was fine at 75.  Don't know why.

LOL you guys and your fancy computers!

All graphics sliders far right, flying alone  20ish FPS
Furball around 12-15 FPS
Smoke coming from hangers? LOL drops to around 10 FPS

GVing or attacking GVs I move ground detail slider to middle approx, FR about 5 - 7 FPS

That is because lights create a strobe effect at 60 htz. If I look at a 60 htz monitor (not lcd flat screen) it drives me nuts with in 2 secs I see the effect.

Hey, is that because of the frequency of AC or just a coincidence?

2(rarely) low in a crowd on Mindanao.  60 alone. Usually 7-30.

I played for a little while at 7-20.  Dogfight strobe.  Heat and drivers, I think.

I've seen 0 before too.

I was flying at 256 and switched to 128 and it got worse.  512 now, I think, because it doesn't seem to matter.

All eye candy off.

What I'm saying is, it's meaningless.

Your monitor is only displaying the 60 fps or whatever its refresh rate is, and it makes no sense to have your PC doing the work to render more.

Hitech- Cool, never knew about that, and it was a CRT.

Wow.  You guys with the low frame rates, can you post your system specs?  (CPU, Ram, Vid Card)

Also post what settings you're using for graphics -- in and out of the game, resolution, etc.

Some of you have extremely low frame rates!  I had a cheapo Dell (E7200 processor, 3GB RAM, ATI 4350 all running stock) that still put out over 50 fps in 1024x768 as long as I turned down AA and various settings.

I remember how frustrating it was in AW with low frame rates (30 was the magic number back then).
