All vsync does is limit yer fps to that of your current resolution's refresh rate. Im pretty sure it limits buffer swaps or something like that. All I know is I played with it enabled for a very long time... .then disabled it one day to get 100fps constant and be "1337", but immediatly put it back on. Games look goofy refreshing faster than your monitor. At least to me they do. =) Give me 60fps or give me death.
Oh about the particle engine. I have some crazy idea about the problem but ill just look retarted if I say it so im gonna pass. :] Roachie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Miguel Aleman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, May 11, 2002 7:48 PM Subject: Re: [hlcoders] triApi speed problems > VSYNC puts a limit on overall frame rate, and it would not change in the > presence of particle blending.
