Turning off vsync for nvidia & ATI

For Sybos request that i should post this as many people keep asking and making threads.. These guides both use the default software that come with the cards, i havent tried out the third party software such as rivatuner and whatever there may be.

I am using the latest 169.21 forceware drivers for Nvidia and Catalyst version 7.3 for my ATI card

NVIDIA USERS
Anyway, normally you should right click anywhere on the desktop, and click on NVIDIA Control panel and you will get this window pop up


Click on "3D settings"

Then you will get a window with something like this on it

click on the "take me there" link and it will send you towards the 3D settings page,

OR


Alternatively if you can see the menu on the side, then click that


scroll down and check that vertical sync is either forced off, like in my picture :D

And there you have it, vsync off


ATI USERS

Similar way to get to the control panel like nvidia, right click on the desktop and click the catalyst control center (which should be the default software you have running for it) and you should get the CCC to load up


After being presented with this screen, manage your way to "3D" then click on all settings


Scroll down once in the all settings bit, for some odd reason, ATI dont label the feature "VSYNC" they call it vertical refresh, no idea why. Anyway turn it so that its always off

And there you go :)
