    you cant see it but you cant say its not nice to see that 479 Fps

    Stop quoting the highest FPS that the game hit once and never hit again :rolleyes2 .

    Aren't you getting any Tearing at all?

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

    /me coughs.

    Did that cough sound suspicously like the words "directx nine" and "half-life two" to you guys?

    That review was weird. Did they run the benchmarks with vsync enabled only on the 5950 Ultra? Looking at the results it seems that way.

    Maybe he can't, but I can. I'm not really impressed by other people's numbers. Only my own. I can't help other people's budgets :D

    You see, with my POS graphics card, I'm highly impressed when I can eek out a few more 3dmarks and such. Just not at the cost of tearing or other quality setbacks.

    You may notice that some games look better while others look worse with Vsync off. I heard once that HL desperately needs it on to reduce tearing, but Quake 3 was intended to run with Vsync off. I'm not sure if there's any truth to that, and less sure that anyone plays Q3 anymore :).

    I play none of my games with vsync, and I have never once experienced tearing on any video card I have ever used stretching all the way back to August of 2000 and the GeForce2 GTS.

    For you keen on mobo chipsets, that's the KT133 there too.

    Well on my i820 and my Geforce 256, I had tearing like a bad mamma jamma. Vsync was my savior. Unfortunately I don't play enough games nowadays to know if my 8500 has problems without Vsync, but I do believe I have it forced on in the drivers.
