Vsync

How do I turn off vsync? fps_max and fps_modem have no effect.

vid_wait "x". x is used to enable/disable Vsync. Vsync effectively limits the frame rate to your current refresh rate at a given resolution. Performance can improve with vsync disabled (Frames are rendered as fast as they can be regardless of refresh rate), although you can experience image tearing &/or controller lag as a result. With vsync enabled you won’t experience either image tearing nor controller lag, although frame rate will be limited to your refresh rate. As such I’d recommend enabling vsync for best image quality & disabling it when you intend to benchmark Half-Life performance.

vid_wait isnt coming up as a valid command.

You might need to turn it off on your graphics card options before you launch tfc. If you have a decent gui for your vid card then you can do it on a per application basis. so you'd set it for when tfc runs, vsync turns off...


vid_wait "x" must be obsolete, sry dude
