Well... Using Vsync depends on one thing in particular. If you run without it you may experience graphical tearing of the scene..especially when you move around, or pan the camera.
Having vsync ON, eliminates that tearing, but your frame rates will be locked to whatever the vertical refresh rate is set at on your monitor, in your case 60Hz.
So..use it if your have tearing, disable it if you don't, pretty simple. |
Well, Canonicus, like I said, I'm a real novice at some things and I wouldn't recognise graphical tearing if I saw it. I've been messing with the settings in the 3d panel for my card the last couple of nights and now I'm getting all kinds of CTDs. After readjusting some of the settings I went back to play SHIV and finish up a patrol that I had started. I just get back to Pearl and just before the end patrol screen comes up I get another CTD wiping all the patrol I had just completed. This is getting somewaht fustrating.

Ouch!..I feel for you because I've had something like that happen to me, on more than one occasion. Here's the solution I found by trial and error...
1. - Right before you enter the harbor and before the end patrol screen comes up, press the Windows key.
(Thats the key placed in between the Ctrl and Alt at the lower left side of your keyboard).
That will take you back to the desktop.
2. - Open Nvidia control panel and LOWER you Anisotropic Filtering setting to 2x.
3. - Go back to SH4 and you should be able to end the patrol. You can always re-set AF higher when your actually on patrol.
Don't ask me why this works ...but it does. |
