My condolences. On Nvidia there is a Full Composition Pipeline option in Nvidia driver settings which gets rid of vsync issues. It's odd it's not on by default.
- winter_blue 7y agoWow, that's good to know! How do you turn it on? (I don't see an option for it in the Nvidia X Server Settings app.)
- proverbialbunny 7y agoNvidia X Server Settings app -> X Server Display Configuration -> Advanced... -> Force Full Composition Pipeline Note, it is not saved during a reboot unless you click 'Save to X Configuration File' and then save to /etc/X11/xorg.conf for most distros. Also, many distros have partial v-sync of some sort on. For most it isn't noticeable, but for many desktops it causes the screen to run at an effective 59 instead of 60fps (or that is what it looks like to me, non-scientific here), so it can be beneficial to look up how to turn off vsync on your distro. Eg, I'm on Mint so for me it's General Settings -> VSync method -> None. For most people, this is not a noticeable change.
- winter_blue 7y agoThank you for explaining it so clearly.
