The poll is REALLY biased. It should have been:
1. Forced Off
2. Forced On
3. I left it at the default (Application controlled)
4. I force it on or off depending on the game I want to play.
5. What?
Sometimes force it off? you force it off and then you dont force it off? well, maybe if you had a game where it was on by default and cannot be disabled in game, and another game where it was off by default and needed it badly, you could switch from force on to force off.
lol ...
my poll is not biased wrt to the data i am trying to obtain.
i'm not interested in whether or not people use vsync either in game or forced on in the driver -- that is irrelevant to issue i am trying to address.
the only thing i care about is what percent of people force vsync off in the control panel all of the time and what percent of people never force it off in the control panel.
no matter what you do with the setting, there is an option for you:
1) yes, always: when you install a new graphics card you flip it to force vsync off and forget it.
2) yes, sometimes: you change the driver settings on a per game or some other basis or it's just not always set to one thing or the other on your system. but sometimes you do force vsync off in the control panel when playing games.
3) no, never: you either: leave the setting default (app controlled) or force vsync on. but you never force it off in the driver.
4) cause who doesn't like a funny nonsense answer.
for my data collection purpose and focus, there is no bias here.

This is exactly the issue. Some people are not voting at all because their option, Force on, is not in the poll. I almost didn't vote myself. So when you take it as a percent of people who do so you are getting an inflated percent due to people refusing to vote in what they see as a biased poll.
It is like asking "Is <insert name here> the worst president the US ever had, just kinda bad, or do you not care". You are gonna get very skewed results because people will refuse to vote on such a poll.
On the other hand, if you want to know if people are forcing it off in the driver or in the application, then you are skewing it the OTHER way, because some people who force it on would answer "no never", when they should have not voted at all.
Ofcourse, I still don't know the specific reason you have for the poll, so those kind of things might be a non issue. I wasn't saying YOU are biased, just giving advice on poll question framing.

thanks ... hope that clears up why I made the poll the way I did as well
In case some of you don't know what he's talking about, I added a link in the OP to the page of my 9800 GTX article that explains why I wanted this info.
