Re: Set up for the most FPS in BFV

Jumping in on this conversation... you guys seem to know what you're doing but for everyone else who may not follow... correct me if I'm wrong here but in terms of FPS, I like to think of it like rhythm, or analogous to clapping on beat to a song. If you have say a 60 Hz monitor, then 120 FPS in game is at double its rhythm and is on beat. If you're playing "off beat" at say 83 FPS, then the frame rate is not synced, and you'll see that mismatch in-game (e.g. screen tears). This is part of the point of V-Sync and framerate limiters - to sync the FPS produced with what your monitor can handle, for a smooth visual. A few FPS off won't really make a difference, but the more you have will cause screen tears and other non-desirable effects.

    @SterlingARCH3R not really, you get screen tearing only when your fps is lower than your screen refresh rate. Also the point of vsync is to sync vertical refreshes of your screen not to match it to fps (although it does that too). If you turn off vsync and set your refresh rate low you can see that the screen is split in half in most cases with 2 different frames on the bottom and top half and vsync alleviates that.
