Vsync

Wezz · Post by **Wezz** » 30 Dec 2004, 23:20

...Is there any chance to disable Vsync without those "Great" graphic cards?

I have a normal, not so good Videocard, and theres no menus where you can disable and stuff like that...

Well is there a menu about.. ummm.. let's see... maybe Direct 3D like everyone says and not a menu about YOUR videocard.

Was not at all men to be harsh

Try PowerStrip, maybe it works: http://entechtaiwan.net/util/ps.shtm

It has your video card supported for sure.

Thanx SveinR, im in the program, but im not the best to computers....
So couldnt anybody write what i should do when im first in the program, and wanna disable Vsync???

Revolt · Post by **Revolt** » 1 Jan 2005, 01:24

ok ill do teh explain again...

right click rivatuner in the tray on the bottom right

Performance Profiles -> Configure

UNCHECK the box that says "Disable support for driver options" its on the right, about the middle. now look at box full of options in top right

to disable vsync, check teh box "disable vertical sync (Direct 3d)" and uncheck box "Enable vertical sync (OpenGL)"

to enable teh, check "enable vertical sync (OpenGL)" and uncheck "Disable vertical sync (Direct3d)" so oppisite to disable

now find teh save as button and name "elma" or "elasto mania" it doesnt matter. now do teh OK and back to menu again, click teh apply and exit.

now if u click the tray icon and go to performance profiles, u will see teh elma or whatever u named it!if u click on it, it will set it to which ever u set it as, enabled or disabled.

to switch or edit anything else, go back to configure and find the drop down manu at the bottom that says (Current Settings). drop it down and find the elma one u created. now edit what u want in box up top right, and click save as again (i cant see just save anywhere

) and save over the old one. click apply to have it changed

hope this works for most people

When i uncheck, the only options i can check/uncheck in the right corner is:
Asynchronous flip (OpenGL
Use tripple buffering (OpenGL)
Force anisotropic filtering (OpenGL)

There isnt moer features than that...

I found how to turn vsync off with ATI cards:

Open CATALYST control center, in the left menu select "3D" and then "all settings". Scroll down to "Wait for vertical refresh" and set it to "Always off". All other settings seems to be equal to "on" in Elma.

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 21 Mar 2006, 18:16

I knew that.

Can you help me, how i can change it ON? I have hmmm... diamond fire gl pro 1000 or something liek that

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 4 May 2006, 13:59

Does one have to restart their computer after changing Vsync option?

None really knows (not even Mr. Burns) but it does affect the physics in elma, and thats all we care about.

No, its not the Mhz. Check MOPOSITE TWEAKING PAGE for more information about tweaking, tuning, whatever, (almost) everything is explained there.

Yesterday I made some testing - I changed my 32 mb NVidia to 64 mb ati radeon (both cards are a bit old..) in hope to increase FPS. With nvidia I use to have 60 FPS with vsync on, about 130 FPS with off with 640x480 resolution and 300 FPS with 320x240 (really max resolution :/). With radeon I have 85 with on but only 110 with off (640x480) and 220 with 320x240 resolution.
It is possible, that 64mb card is even more shitty than 32 mb one? Or am I just tunning wrong in some way? Any advices?

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 5 Dec 2006, 12:33

I have a ATI radeon 9000 64mb myself, and I got 60fps with on, and 510fps with off on 640Ã—480 and 1150fps on 320Ã—240, quite a difference with yours.

Did you perform those tests with both times the timer off? The timer eats up quite some fps, so it differs a lot when on or off. You can also try update driver.

Still, I'm only a nab on this subject, can't help you out I guess

OtorK · Post by **OtorK** » 5 Dec 2006, 12:50

It was everything with timer and map off. My card was ATI Radeon 7200, probably it's max shit.

vsync doesn't mean a thing if you can't play elma

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 5 Dec 2006, 14:49

But it does if you can play elma, and as we all can play some elma, it matters.

arent fps limited to 999 under elma? curious to know how you had 1150

OtorK · Post by **OtorK** » 5 Dec 2006, 16:18

The FPS is not limited, but considering elma tuning >1000 FPS does not make any difference.

Fluff · Post by **Fluff** » 6 Dec 2006, 19:06

okiz but which prog did he use to find 1150? 'coz i use fraps and it is stuck at 999

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 6 Dec 2006, 21:04

Oh, I use ATI Tray Tools, when it sits in my tray it shows fps in elma.
