Hi all,

This posts mainly for people who understand what i mean when i say vsync and TFT monitor.

As many of you know modern TFT monitors run on a lower refresh rate than the old CRT's, thus with todays powerful graphics cards you tend to get screen tearing on new monitors.
The conventional way to fix this has been to enable vsync which limits your framerate to your monitors refresh rate, unfortunately the problem with this is giant drops in frame rate where there shouldn't be (i.e. with vsync enabled a drop of 2fps becomes 15fps).

I've just come across a tool which can fix this issue, instead of using vsync it forces your graphics card to use triple buffering; the result imho is incredible i've had jumps of 40fps+ with no tearing.


The application is D3DOverrider and can be found bundled with RivaTuner, heres a link

I'm not kidding give it a try but remember to turn off vsync in the 'general' profile when you start it.

ITER was originally an acronym for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, but that title was dropped due to the negative popular connotation of "thermonuclear", especially when in conjunction with "experimental".
