    shouldn't it be in the direct 3d settings and opengl settings??? my old ti4600 died, so i don't remember the nvidia control panel very well.

    got it by using a tweak but is there any Natural way of taking v-sync off?

    vsync makes card slow no matter what manufacture. UT sits at 60fps with vsync on with it off its at 479 avg right now

    That's because your monitors refresh rate is 60Hz, and that is all your monitor can display. There is no reason to display any more than that.

    or not...the app probably set the refresh rate to 60.

    vsync when enabled limits your video cards fps to whatever the app or monitor refresh rate is at. with it off it doesnt hold it back and lets the card run full tilt

    Yes, but what is the reason in doing so if the monitor cannot display any more than what the refresh rate locks it to?

    You asked ;)

    /me puts on his "helping" hat...
    If you can't find the option in the nvidia control panel, I doubt it's really hidden, so the tweak will most likely be the only way. (otherwise someone wouldn't have needed to write it)

    You can turn Vsync off by using your Radeon 9600 XT.

    ...It didn't really seem like he actually needed help. He couldn't find it in the control panel, so he d/led something to fix the problem. Then he asked us how to fix it.

    you need newer nvidia drivers so you can set custom refresh rates. if you have older drivers you need a tweak program.

    I still don't see why you want to go over 60fps. It's pointless. Woo tearing, yay.

    in opengl its like 479

    FFS. The lad want to disable the Vsync. Whether you like it or not is not the issue.
    Gnome, uninstall all the extras you got and install this:

    That will solve the issue i'm sure.

    Its so obvious in the control panel i just had to point it out.

    This is using older drivers because forceware suck. But it is even easier with forceware as you dont have to click more under d3d.

    And you know the difference between 60 and 479? NOTHING. At best it may seem a tiny (and I mean mineute) bit faster. At the cost of having to put up with tearing. I mean on old machines where it sped things up, yes, that makes sense, but now it just degrades the image quality for invisible frame rate boosts.

    So you won't allow him to disable it? :rolleyes:

    Souriat, I don't think that your sig closes the font size tag - everybody's font is smaller after your post!

    But thanks for posting the fix for Gnome's problem! ;)
