Im kinda confused. When v sync is enabled it allows the game to go at a higher frame rate than what your monitor is capable of?
Or is it the other way around? bryan19929
V-sync, limits your FPS to the refresh rate of your monitor. Enabling V-sync usually helps eliminate weird graphical glitches, such as shimmering, that occur when you are getting too many FPS.
Your monitor isn't capable of putting out a certain amount of FPS. I think you are confusing different terms like refresh rate, response time, FPS and V sync here. You can get a higher FPS if Vsyc is low, since the screen gets scaled down and makes the screen smaller, making it less hard to draw a certain amount of frames per second, this resulting in a higher FPS

It syncs the frame rate to your monitors Hz. So I have a 60Hz LCD and when I run games that I want V-Sync on, they run at 60fps constantly. I only choose games that can run over 60fps all the time. CSS, Doom3 are the only games I do it to.
People mainly do it, so there are no tears say between 2 pieces of road meeting. Or they do it when they turn really fast and see a horizontal tears. Not really a tear tho. Its shimmering, so its when the screen cant keep up with your frames per second your setup is producing. So you v-Sync it to work in sync together.
Oh that explains the problems I have been having. Ive been playing Call of Duty 2 and Rainbow 6 Vegas with V Sync disabled and I had some werid unexplanable things happen. When I enabled them on R6:Vegas the glitches dissapeared but it appered that the FPS lowered. Thanx man that helped alot. :)
