Same problem here. Vsync doesnt work.
My monitor is 75hz and when I vsync my frames go to 74-80 up and down all the time.
I checked the double buffered vsync option and does exactly the same thing. It jumps from 74-80 all the time.
Unfortunately on a 75 hz monitor even playing at 100fps look a lot worse than playing vsynced. Vsynced is my only option for me.
I know I can cap my frames to 75 with Origin Launcher but Its a different thing to put a max frame limit and its different to vsync. If I put a max frame limit it still does a lot of tearing/almost looks like playing with low frames.
Adaptive and trashsync GimmickSync bah
Tripplebuffering works with standard Vsync on 144hz for me
I found a solution for me.
Tripplebuffering didnt work. It did the same thing. Framerate was going from 75 to 80 (75hz monitor) and felt really bad.
The weird thing is that vsync didnt work, not even from nvidia control panel!! Same thing, framerate wasnt locked at 75.
Thankfully I tried fast sync (from nvidia control panel) and it worked. Almost perfectly synced and no input lag. (I caped the framerate at 80fps from origin launcher ,so fast sync can work properly....since I have a 75hz monitor )
Nice everything is so inconsistent lately with performance in things whilst the Api's in place are known they still manage to reinvent this wheel and break games Always people tied to EA.
What monitor do you have ? Others might benefit
I have AOC G2460V (1920x1080 @ 75hz) with Freesyng (for ATI cards), I only use nvidia cards so I cant use freesync but its ok.
But I cant advise people to buy 75hz monitors. All gamers should go for 144hz even if they play at 80fps.
For me 75fps is the minimum for fast first person shooters and 60fps is unplayable (you lose the track of the enemy when there is a lot of movement). So, in the future I will go for a 144hz monitor, even if my rig can only get 85-90fps. I will buy a monitor with g-sync, so it will be fine.
ps: also free-sync is a little tricky. I tried it on another game that I play (quake) and capping it at 80fps has very choppy. I had to cap it at 75 or 76 fps to have a smooth animation. And even then Im not sure that it is better than un-synced.
(for some reason some games look veeeery smooth when you play "nosync , capped at 76fps on a 75hz monitor" and other games like Apex look very bad. Apex looks bad even at 100fps ,on a 75hz monitor I mean )
