Vsync synchronizes the framerate provided by the GPU to the refresh rate of your monitor. If you are above 60FPS, you will go to 60FPS, and if you are between 30-60FPS, you go to 30FPS. This is exactly why I've capped and V-sync'd. The screen tearing bothers me to no end when Mouse scrolling- and if I notice in a game- it can really distract my attention. As anyone knows who plays Starcraft, 1 or 2 seconds thinking about how bad your screen just folded can cost you quite a bit. | ||

Yes, the human eye can theoretically see over 200FPS; the human eye can also detect a single photon of light, but how well can you see in the dark? You're limited by how much your brain can perceive, and 60FPS is perfect for Starcraft. | ||

It could also be overheating then? | ||

2. Monitors can refresh up to 160 if you have an old CRT monitor, and up to 120 if you have one of the new LCDs. 3. V-Sync increases screen tearing most of the times. It cuts out frames to cap the framerate giving a less smooth image. | ||

Remember a CRT is shotting a beam that is drawing lines on your monitor an LCD is just changing a pixel V-Sync increases screen tearing most of the times That statement is so wrong it's just sad, Screen tearing occurs due to your monitor receiving an image and being told to draw a new one before it can finish the old one. V-Sync syncs up that process so one frame by gpu = one frame by monitor for LCD's, tearing caused by lack of monition blur is v-sync fault. Also you could probably tell 500fps but in 1/500th of 1 second is far far far far less then your natural lag caused by you perceiving the screen and then generating a response to it. | ||

In other words there is no need to play the game on 120 fps if you can play it on 60. This is such a load of misquoted, misunderstood bullshit. There is no such evidence whatsoever, and the difference between 60Hz/120Hz monitors at 120fps are extremely visible. Lets be factual. | ||

YOU SHOULD MOST CERTAINLY LOOK UP THE SAFE OPERATING RANGE FOR YOUR SPECIFIC GPU (or gpu family) That's true, but most people are freaking out over temps not even close to their card's max safe temps. | ||

Either get better cooling for your computer case, get a better graphics card, or manually raise the fan speed. On my Powercolor HD5870 PCS+ it's never ever goes above 60C in SC2. When it's really hot outside games like BC2 push it up to 65C. lol Ya, no card has ever burned out by being overloaded. Trying to limit the load, just retarded. My bad. edit: oh Shit! Epic first post BTW. | ||
