    I’m really curious why you would turn vsync off. I know in competitive gaming it can possibly be a detriment, but aside from a very tiny amount of delay what is the downside?

      I’m on a CRT screen for reducing delay, too, so yeah. I render at least 2x fps than my screen refresh rate so I never visually perceive any tearing anyway.

      It’s not tiny, you just don’t know the difference if you’re used to a flat panel display. If I play on a friends’ PC I am constantly aware of the difference, but it is definitely something your brain eventually just adjusts to and you stop perceiving the lag.

      In my experience it causes a very large amount of delay in almost every game I have used it on. Even in a casual gaming setting it can make playing feel a lot worse.

        I guess I might just not be as sensitive to lag. Though I Also don’t play a ton of games that would be highly sensitive to issues with lag. Maybe I’ll try turning it off on some things and see if I notice a lag difference. Thanks for the response.

          I imagine it has something to do with how powerful your system is. I don’t notice these issues as much on easier to run games.
