ohh serious....gee thanx....i donno always put it off.

Basically V-Sync is a configuration to synchronize your monitor's max refresh rate, generally 60 refresh rate WITH 60 frame rates/sec, this harmony will nullify the screen tearing.

Practically, if you have high-end GC, most games will spike the FPS waaay above 60fps, which is unnecessary because the common LCD monitor can't refresh the frames above 60 anyways...plus no need to burden the GC with unnecessary excess fps (those extra fps above 60fps mark)..
Although this statement is debatable, in the long run V-sync should saves your gc from excess heat, electricity and life longevity.. but of course depends on the excess fps, like for example, above 100fps+.

for more efficient method.. use netbook or intel atom based pc for downloading.. works great

when game reaches 60 fps above, basically no difference liow... you may enjoy the over hundreds of frame rate however you will face the screen tearing if your VSync not turn on .
So when you know your card is Over killing, then it is really time to enjoy the raw power of constant 60fps with everything in high setting mode and v-sync on....

I was told before that enabling v-sync for FPS games (CoD, BC, etc) is no good since it will skip frames which means .even if there was a little tearing, smoothness of the game and instantaneous response to mouse commands are more important. Vsync enabled can produce input lag on some game titles.

Just my 2 cents~

yeah!finally i manage to change my screen resolution to 1920x1080!!
yeep yeep hooray!!

anybody knows why my 2nd 5870 core/memory in idle stay 850/1200

while 1st 5870 idle core/memory 157/300...only

plez help me..

Haha. how did you do it?!!!
I remembered couple of posts ago you were stuck at a lower res...

You also need to factor in things like v-sync when the fps is less than your monitor's refresh rate, the framerate will be capped like this:

60fps
30
15
7.5
etc

Triple buffering is the option to go for whenever possible.

i changed my cable from dvi>>quite expensive hdmi gold-plated cable(from my ps3)...but still wont work..
but thn i changed to a much more cheaper hdmi cable(rm30) and to my surprise it works!!
thats so weird...but it works...so im more thn happy now..hahaha

The guy would only pay for a HD 5750 and you want to suggest him an 800W PSU that's more suited for dual HD 5870?

The CM 460W would be enough. The HD 5750's TDP is only 84W. It may even be possible to go dual HD 5750 if you want.

800Watt PSU can even powered up 3x Radeon HD5870 CFX easily.
CM EPP 460W PSU(Non-True Power) should be able to run 1x Radeon HD5750 flawlessly.
If you want to play safe, then, take 450Watt PSU(True Power) or above.

hi guys, i wanna ask if ati 5670 is enough to play all games in max setting on my 18.5 inc lcd?? or i should go for 5750 ? very tight budget coz wanna spend for true power psu too.

get 5770 ? ...

HD5670 enough to play most of the latest games in high to mid-high settings for 18.5" LCD monitor, if you want max out every game, its better to go with HD5750.

Overkill, over-budget, unnecessary.

hope ati does sumting on 3D....jz because of the 3D feature im forced to buy nVidia GPU .....stil craking my head wt i shud do...buy nVidia or wait for ATI...do u guys knw anyting bout ATI goin 3D?

not sure what you meant by 3D, the games I play are all 3D games not 2D side scrolling lol

If by 3D you mean playing on triple monitors with 3D glasses, then that is totally up to you.

Personally tho, I think the price on nvidia's 3d triple monitor feature thing would be way expensive

Depends on the game and your screen resolution. 18.5" is not a very meaningful value.

The HD 5750 would be a significant step forward in performance and more likely to give you what you want. The 512MB variants can be had for around RM 400.

catalyst version?

If you want something like 3D Vision using active glasses, then can't help it. But something like 3D Vision Discover, maybe you want to add iZ3D to your ATI
