Disabling vertical can significantly improve the performance of the video card when working with some games. The main advantage of this procedure is the increase in the number of FPS.
Instructions
Step 1
Keep in mind that if your monitor is running at 100 Hertz refresh rate, disabling sync will have little effect on image quality. The only obvious plus is the reduced load on the video adapter.
Step 2
Install the latest driver package for your graphics card. It is better to download the installation files from the developer's site of this device. Considering the fact that most video cards are produced by only two companies, it will not be difficult to find the right software.
Step 3
After installing the application, restart your computer. Right-click on a free area of the desktop. Open the Nvidia Control Panel or ATI Control Center program menu.
Step 4
Select the "Games" category or go to the "Manage 3D Settings" sub-item. Expand the Global Settings menu. Deactivate the "Vertical sync pulse" function by unchecking the box of the same name. Sometimes this option may be called "Wait for vertical update".
Step 5
It is important to understand that disabling synchronization can negatively affect the quality of graphics in other programs and games. If the installed software supports the customization function for each application, use it.
Step 6
Select the desired exe file and disable vertical sync for this program. In this case, enable the described option in the "Global settings" menu.
Step 7
Old versions of drivers for video cards from Radeon do not support this feature. If this problem occurs, select the "Disable if not specified by the application" mode. This will allow the graphics card to automatically activate or deactivate sync when launching certain programs.
Step 8
After making changes to the video adapter settings, restart your computer. Run the required application and make sure that the video adapter is working correctly.
