Consoles have V-synced enabled by default to reduce screen tearing. But by leaving it off you do get more F/S. Guy has dual GTX 780's in SLI configuration.

Lior3849d ago

You sound surprised you can take off v sync, almost every pc game has this option

Sy_Wolf3849d ago

I would rather have a rock solid 60 frames a second then a jittery one with screen tearing.

The_KELRaTH3849d ago

I understand what you mean and I'm surprised so many are disagreeing with you but maybe it would be better worded that you want a framerate synced to the Hz of your TV or monitor.

JKelloggs3849d ago

But then you get mouse input lag, which gives you a delay from your mouse to screen

LAWSON723849d ago

Sure there are negatives but there are also positives.

Fishy Fingers3849d ago (Edited 3849d ago )

I turn v sync on or off depending on how each games performs. Obviously it can offer a decent FPS boost (more so that switching off most other video options) so if I can get away without it, I do, always had it off in BF3 and rarely saw any screen tearing.

MidnytRain3849d ago (Edited 3849d ago )

I always figured it could give you a huge boost. Say you hover around 50 fps. V-sync might drop it to 30. That's a 20 frame difference!

Tibbers3849d ago

I can run BF3 on ultra with 55+fps.
I can run BF4 Beta on low with 25-55fps and 15fps framedrops.

Great, isn't it?

LAWSON723849d ago (Edited 3849d ago )

I easily am getting 60 fps on ultra on my hd7950 and i5 3570k. I am hoping the actual game looks a bit better and has better controller support so when I get knifed and f pops up I don't say "What the fuck is F on my controller?!?". (1080p)

MidnytRain3849d ago

This problem seems self-fulfilling, as you probably wouldn't have gotten knifed had you not been using a controller. X) I kid, I kid...

Mr Tretton3848d ago

vsync off is for blind people. how could one tolerate your screen flickering without horrible vision?

Bladesfist3848d ago

Vsync has nothing to do with flickering, you should only turn it on if you notice tearing which does not happen for everyone.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Battlefield 1, Hardline, BF4 Servers Are Being Taken Offline by Cheaters; EA Silent on Issue

Cheaters & hackers have been causing grief on Battlefield 1, Hardline & BF4 servers, with nonstop DDoS attacks among other things. Unfortunately, EA has remained silent about it.

-Foxtrot752d ago

Course they are silent, they are hoping people flock to 2042

gamesftw250751d ago

Maybe it was a inside job then haha.

jeromeface750d ago

wouldnt be the first time, titanfall 1+2 anyone?

PapaBop751d ago

Not even if they paid me.. EA always do this with old games with less money potential, if this was Ultimate Team, they'd address and sort it faster than stories could spread. Why invest time in their products when they will just dump it in the following years? Then again EA never could see the forest for the trees.

Inverno751d ago

I imagine after those games were given out for free a couple months back through Amazon, anything that makes people go to 2042 is a plus for them

XiNatsuDragnel752d ago

They want people to go on 2042. My theory

excaliburps751d ago

Nah. I think they can't do anything about it or they want to sink money into fixing it.

Pudge102888751d ago (Edited 751d ago )

EA owns all BF servers so yes, they can do something about it but they refuse to because they dont want ppl playing their old games instead of the new one. Its EA we’re talking about here

pr33k33751d ago

if this happened in 2042, they'd have something to say. which is weird, considering battlefield 1 has more players on steam right now.

Pudge102888751d ago

Its so obvious that EA is doing this or hired ppl to mess up the games so that we’d be forced to have just 1 Battlefield working.

FPS_D3TH751d ago

Honestly it’s probably the devs themselves. They did an update to bf4 way back that kinda made assault rifles doo doo in hopes that people would flock to BF1 cuz BF4 was too perfect

There's a bunch of great shooters on gamepass; both legacy and new.

A recommendation I have is a work in progress preview title called Anacrusis. It's a lot of fun, and has a cool aesthetic.
