Instructions
Step 1
First, install the latest drivers for your graphics card. If you are using an Nvidia video adapter, visit the website www.nvidia.ru. Click the Drivers tab and select Download Drivers. Complete the menu that appears to find the software you want. Please indicate product type, series and exact model. Be sure to check the type with your operating system.
Step 2
Download the suggested software and install it. Reboot your computer. After loading the operating system, right-click on the desktop and select "Nvidia Control Panel". Open the Manage 3D Settings menu and go to the Global Settings tab.
Step 3
Find Vertical Sync Pulse and set it to Off. It is best not to use the App Select option because many games automatically use this feature. Click the "Apply" button and close the program window.
Step 4
If your computer has a Radeon graphics card, visit www.ati.com. Go to the "Support & Drivers" menu. Fill in the menu in the same way as described in the first step, and click the "Show Results" button. Download the proposed program. Install it and restart your computer.
Step 5
Right click on the desktop and select "Graphics Properties" or ATI Control Center. Expand the Games tab and open the 3D Application Settings menu. Find the Wait for Vertical Refresh option and move the slider to the left to enable the Always Off option. Click the "Apply" button and close the program window. To improve the performance of the video card when working with certain applications, change its other parameters.
