smooth ET without vsync

by heaven • 18 Mar 2008, 23:18 • Journals
I don't know exactly what it is, but lately movement in ET has felt kind of laggy.

How can I get it smooth as possible without vsync? I can get 125+ fps with a 100hz monitor.

r_displayrefresh = 0 or 100? my monitor is max 100. can't tell the difference.

r_finish - off if I don't use vsync?

com_maxfps 125, of course.

mmm ... can't think of anything else.

any help would be appreciated.

use fps close to your displayrefresh to prevent tearing

com_maxfps 100
r_displayrefresh 100

I thought com_maxfps 125 was more or less a de facto standard, to be able to jump a bit higher etc.

is not smooth.. tearing
Parent

heaven 18 Mar 2008, 23:51
true. standing on the garage roof on radar, looking down while moving the mouse back and forth is an easy way to see tearing.
Parent

crook 19 Mar 2008, 03:22
any way to counter that?
Parent
▼
Ronner 19 Mar 2008, 10:17
yes a slightly higher/lower FPS or HZ. For instance 105hz and 100fps
or 120 hz and 125fps

fps 100 hz 102 mp 100 r_finish 1

Ronner 18 Mar 2008, 23:48
102 hz? what monitor you have?
Parent
▼
perforator 18 Mar 2008, 23:51
on most monitors it is possible to use various hz other than the "standard hz". findable with rivatuner in most cases

i use 95 hz myself

I have an iiyama vision master pro 454 hm903 dt-b.
if I do r_displayrefresh 102, it switches to 60 :(

Guess I have to find the possible once with rivatuner.

how do you "find them" with rivatuner?
Parent

perforator 19 Mar 2008, 00:32
driver settings -> customize button (in the 'forceware detected' field or whatever) -> custom display modes/refresh rate wizard
Parent

Ronner 19 Mar 2008, 10:57
hmm, I looked shortly at the refresh rate wizzard but couldn't really see anything at the quick glance that I gave it that would automatically test custom refresh rates that my monitor can handle. Is there a feature that sort of scans all possible rates or do you have to try al rates manually?

edit nevermind, figured it out.

custom hz @ nvidia drivers (need the previous ones than the 90.xx)

because 100/100 gives artifacts
Parent

Ronner 18 Mar 2008, 23:59
not artifacts, it's called tearing.
Parent

douille 19 Mar 2008, 00:00
didn't know. (even if I saw it written)

Ronner 19 Mar 2008, 10:57
what monitor do you have?
Parent

douille 19 Mar 2008, 19:02
viewsonic p97f+ ! bandwidth 280, max vertical freq= 160 hz, max horizontal freq 110 khz

still wont prevent tearing. You will still see a line on the screen when moving fast with the mouse. Unless you use vsync it will never be 'tear free', i think you can even override the cb fps limit with that settings :)

To bad it gives you fps lag.

douille 19 Mar 2008, 09:08
there's still a little tearing but not as much as 100 hz. It's playble.
About the maxfps thingie, I don't see how I could override the cb limit.
