About Nvidia's "Fast Sync"

[LucianAndries]

Hello.

I had to re-edit my first post because, the question was too darn hard to answer...........

So I will put it much simpler: If I enable "Fast Sync" in Nvidia Control Panel, do I still need to enable the "Triple Buffering" too?

If you are going to tell me where to go and how to enable Fast Sync, JUST IGNORE ME. PLEASE!!

Also: A recommandation to Nvidia graphics cards owners:

If you really need to have V-Sync enabled, don't use the one provided in Nvidia's Control Panel! Let it be on default settings there.
Instead, use ONLY the V-Sync option that is provided "IN GAMES"!

With the Control Panel setting, you still have Screan Tearing. But if you use the IN GAME setting, the game will have LESS Screen Tearing and Input Lag, and will be much more playable than before.
I have tested this, and it works better. At least for me. Don't get me wrong, you still get some Screen Tearing, but it won't be as much as with the Control Panel's option.

It seems the games themselves, are much better optimised for the V-Sync option, than Nvidia's driver...
This might be because of my TV, I'm not sure. But it won't hurt to test it.

1.Fast sync isn't using buffers,it just waits for the current frame to be fully rendered before sending it to the display.

2.You can do that to keep the GPU cool and use less power.

So I can disable Tripple Buffer, or leave it on?

Go to nvidia control panel, go to manage 3D setting, go to program setting, select your program or game and add it to the list than scroll down and change the vertical sync to fast sync. Now you are ready to go.
Believe me I am using fast sync for every game and there is no tearing and gameplay is very smooth on my 60hz 22 inches monitor.

Haven't you read the first post? Or you just read the titles and start replying at random?

I said I know what Fast Sync is and what it does. And I am already using it with no issues. But I still need to know one thing...: DO I STILL NEED TO ENABLE TRIPLE BUFFERING, OR NOT?

I don't know, it's like I'm on a kindergarten forum, nobody reads anything, but acts as though they already know what I wrote... Is it so hard to understand?

 

[TerryLaze]

TRIPLE BUFFERING has nothing to do with fast sync so it doesn't matter if you have it on or off, it won't be used any way.

 

[ch.vishalrao007]

You don't need triple buffering with fast sync. Just enable fast sync, it will do the trick for you.

Ok. Thank you all, I understand now.
So, how do I close this thread? I thought it auto-closes once I chose an answer...
