Re: Poor Preformance in WoW

Even if his LCD is 60hz vsync will still only cap at 60 FPS. That's what it does, match the frame rate to the frequency to avoid tearing. No I don't know him, I mistook a later poster for being him which is where I got the 75hz.

Doesn't really change my main point, which is Shatt and high population areas are most likely the cause of the lower frame rate. If he had dual video cards and the best processor / ram possible then vsync might be nerfing his frame rate in Shatt. But it's unlikely with that setup.

exactly. But if the computer cannot produce the 60 fps, because of vsync it will only display full complete frames. Because of that, it will display only 30fps because it doesn't have a new frame ready to feed the monitor every cycle, so you get the same frame twice if it is putting out between 30 and 59fps.
