    Hey guys,

    I got some question regarding Vsync and Nvidia :

    Whenever i put the adaptive vsync on my nvidia control panel (half refresh rate) it doesn't do anything anymore ? Oo It should be stuck at 48fps to go with my 96 hz screen but nope. It can go up to 70 or 110 whateva it wants depending on the game.

    The only way i found to force the vsync is to set it up on Riva Tuner x64 (the thing that comes with MSI Afterburner), there it stays stuck at 48 (on the counter) but i'm not 100% sure that the counter is accurate (especially on starbound where it seems that the game tears or "lags" in 2D in one map where i had a million torches while the counter stays at 48 flat)

    You can force vsync in the nvidia control panel, I had to do this with ESO and Wildstar.

    I think what Haibaine is saying is that when he forces adaptive vsync in the control panel that it isnt taking effect anymore. It could be a now broken feature in the drivers. I still use the R331 game ready driver and it works for me, I havent updated past 331.65. What driver version are you on?

    Ah, yes, it might be because of the drivers, i have the latest (all the time -_-). It used to work perfectly before.
