So, what is it? Should I enable it when playing Far Cry? Does it reduce performance? Does it enable better graphics?
Thanks a lot. :thumbs:
 
It limits your in game frame rate to the monitor refresh rate. If a game draws frames quicker than the moniter refreshes, it can cause crappy looking tears across the screen. You should keep it turned on although it wont make a difference if your framerate is lower than the refresh rate, and turn it off if youre doing benchmarks.
