General FPS performance of SVN compared to 2.4.2

[Alien]

I'm telling the truth. If you would like to read I even could write why, but as you wish...

[GreEn`mArine]

yeah but there will be VERY visible stripes on my screen (it's not that I wouldn't have tried your suggestion before already). With cl_maxfps 500 the stripes are still there, but are much smaller and do not appear as that disturbing to me anymore.

So you say you get stripes when vsync is enabled? That is exactly what vsync means to remove. Must be a graphics driver problem then. vsync works fine and stripeless for me.

[Alien]

Vsync creates lag between your actions and when they are shown on the screen.

You can get stripes if there is desync between max_fps and screen refresh rate.

No, I am not using vsync due to the lag it introduces.
When NOT using vsync and setting cl_maxfps to 60 (which is equal to my screen refresh rate) I do get stripes, however.

[divVerent]

That's absolutely normal.

[Alien]

If dp framebuffer filling and rendering it on the screen desyncs, then yes. Dunno if it is possible to control synchronization without using vsync (probably no). You will still get stripes on 60 screen even when running with 500 fps or more, cause LCD screen can change from grey-to-grey/black-to-white only - use graphics card framebuffer - 60 times per second.

I play without vsync and cl_maxfps set to 63, slightly above my monitor's refresh rate. That way the tearing will drift "randomly" across the screen, which is much nicer than a slowly drifting tear. Vsync just doesn't work AFAIK with the ATI fglrx driver.

[Alien]

There shouldn't be tears if dp always rendered framebuffer bytes ahead before this block of bytes would be sent to the monitor and monitor refresh rate would be equal to rendering rate of dp to keep constant distance.

[divVerent]

Yes, but 60 Hz isn't exactly 60 Hz (or 72, or whatever). Depending on temperature and monitor parameters, these vary a little.

vsync is the only way to get this synced.
