Can someone with an ATI GPU running Vista test V-Sync?

[BroadbandGamer]

According to NVIDIA, V-Sync can no longer be forced on in the control panel. They're saying it's a Microsoft problem.

Just to make sure this isn't just another broken feature in NVIDIA's drivers. Can someone with an ATI GPU running Vista test forcing V-Sync using CCC? Make sure it's a DirectX game.

Make sure the game doesn't have an in-game v-sync setting (like BF2) or that it's turned off. Now using CCC turn V-Sync to always on and check to see if there is any screen tearing. If NVIDIA is correct, you should get lots of screen tearing.

Thanks!

i have dual boot with an 8800gts. I only notice tearing while playing bf2142. so in XP i turn on v-sync and it works. i stay at 60fps pretty consistent and it looks great. I can OC in xp also to gtx speeds.

In vista i have problems. forcing vsinc doesn't work. i get noticable tearing when moving fast across the screen.


we have pretty similar rigs.

Yeah, I'm trying to find out if forcing v-sync with ATI cards is also a no go on Vista.

Apparently, using the control panel to force v-sync will no longer work on Vista. Games will have to include an in-game v-sync option or we'll be stuck with screen tearing.

Titan Quest tears like a mofo in Vista on my 8800gtx. However turning on v-sync on the in game options fixes it. Sorry cant help you w/the ati

So are there any ATI users running Vista that can test this out?

Just got Vista loaded up last night. Keep this thread bumped, and I'll test out Vsync on my X1950 Pro once I get a few games loaded.

Yes,

My 1900XTX with 7.2 cats allows vsync to work fine.

So you can disable the in-game v-sync setting and force v-sync using CCC and it works?? According to NVIDIA forcing v-sync using the control panel is no longer possible with Vista. THe game has to have an in-game setting for v-sync to work.

Running system in sig. Forced Vsync on in CCC while the game vsync is turned off results in vsync not working. I am running the Cat 7.2.

OK thanks. That's what I thought. Looks like it isn't NVIDIA's problem. Just wanted to make sure since there is so many features not working with NVIDIA's current drivers.

Why does MS screw up sh** like this.

Same results. Vista x86, Cat 7.2's, X1900XT-X
