Graphics card settings for MXS?

[Knapp211]

Hey guys, I recently upgraded to a quadcore and I've been getting great FPS. I decided to turn off vsync so I could get a 125 FPS. For some reason I get little tears in the screen? Is there a way to fix it? Could I possibly try one of your guy's nvidia control panel settings? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Did you overclock your GPU and/or CPU ?

It will always tear with vsync off. Try triple buffering with vsync on. It should be possible to exceed 60 Hz like that since the third buffer is always available to render into.

On AMD/ATI cards there is a setting in CCC that allows you to overdrive the scanrate of the screen, to enhance pixelshifting - from what i'we learnt it does nothing to the actiual framerate, but i noticed a huge difference when using this on a moderate setting along with V-sync enabled.
I'm pretty sure NviDia uses the same overdrive but probably a different name for it - worth a shot.

The game doesn't go over 60FPS while vsync is on. I turned on triple buffering. I'm trying to tweak some other stuff in the control panel.

Turning down my pre rendered frames to 1 helped alot.

Would it be better to just run at 60 FPS since my monitor is only 60 hz?

Screw the FPS if the game flows without hickups and tearing just play with it, i never get why ppl wont shut up about fps.

Play a shooter online on 40 fps on 80 and on 120fps, then you will know why it matters

The only advantage to going higher is a quicker sampling rate for your proportional controls.

As far as im concerned this aint a FPS shooter game is it, and if so i would not play on a screen with less the 120hz native. Quit trolling.

With vsync and triple buffering off I'm still capped at 60. Is there another setting I need to change to allow me to go back to 125fps? I'm just gonna deal with the minor screen tearing because the game runs so well

[Knapp211]

I had my damn program settings tweaked. Thanks for the help guys I'm good now.

I can't seem to win with this game. I get around 70 FPS playing BF3 with 64 players, but for some reason tracks like Millville I'm getting like 40 FPs with 10 people. Here are my specs.

AMD Phenom II X6 Processor 3.20 GHZ
16GB RAM
2 AMD 6970's

I feel like I shouldn't dip below 50FPS using vsync. Any thoughts or suggestions on what to do?
