If you noticed a drop in FPS it’s because Blizzard enabled vertical sync in your Graphics settings with the pre-patch.
I noticed this on Beta too a while back, so it’s now gone live.
Unchecking it should free up a significant amount of FPS.
It is advised you only use this when you have excessive screen tearing, so unchecking it should not be an issue, unless of course you have tearing.
In what situation does someone actually experience “excessive screen tearing”? I have never once benefited from V-Sync, it’s only ever been a negative. Obviously it must be needed for some folks, but what causes that need?
Also, games that default V-Sync to ‘On’ are hilarious.
Not sure why this happened, given the chaos that testing has been up until a month ago, it may well have been overlooked or changed on error.
Just seems odd they even messed with it to start with.
This depends heavily on your setup. With a 75Hz monitor I had screen tearing in every single game I played without V-Sync, once I upgraded to a 165Hz monitor that problem went away.
Well I followed that with…
Using this more for bumping tbh
/hugs
In my experience it depends on the specs of the monitor you’re using.
Well, a mixture of that and your GPU. Screen tearing is a result of the GPU outputting screens at a different rate than the monitor is refreshing. The monitor doesn’t finish displaying the entire screen before it gets a new one so what you end up seeing is part of two images.
You’ll know about it when it happens, trust me.
Good PSA. I’ve posted this before, because a bunch of other graphics settings got reset too. I was wondering why the game felt so slow, and I realized I had been set back to the default 100fps cap, for instance.
G-sync is my friend. I always make sure V-sync is off, of course.
Just getting this some more attention.
aGreed, was wondering why titan was maxd at 50. Thanks for this.
