QUOTE(trogdor1oh1 @ Apr 2 2010, 08:33 PM) Here's another problem I have: refresh rate. It's locked at 59Hz, so when V-Sync is on, it locks the fps to that. That's a big problem with Guitar Hero 3 and Guitar Hero Aerosmith, that are locked to the screen's refresh rate. With games like Guitar Hero, the timing easily goes a little off when the fps is lower. The game was built to run at 60fps. When I try to set the screen to 60Hz, it reverts back to 59Hz instantly. How do I lock it to 60Hz? sometimes it cannot be locked to 60Hz but just 59Hz. 1Hz is extremely small amount of duration - i never thought it can disturb any gaming experience. try to disable your V-sync. it definitely will jump more than 60Hz. |

V-sync is a setting where you will set the framerate of the game to fixed to your monitor refresh rate - which is 60Hz.

Or if you have posted in page 1 you can edit your post there and add the pics..... As for gaming, I have always disabled V-Sync after the advice from Mr.Docter ... Even playing METRO 2033, I noticed the difference from very high to high setting was a slight difference hence I use HIGH most of the time.. OffTopic: I was at the SONY Fair at Midvalley today to check up the NEW BRAVIA 3D LCDs. My lil sis got GOW 3 for her PS3 and awaiting for a firmware update to 3D Game enable her PS. And here I can't even game on 3D Yet with a system costing 5 times more than hers... |

Guitar Hero games don't let you disable V-Sync. The game goes haywire if the framerate is above 60, timing starts screwing around, etc. I just tried Guitar Hero Aerosmith and it lags so much more than GH3. You'd think Aspyr would have learned their lesson the first time... |
