    Danny;1384463']You forget some small facts people should actually consider when enabling vsync. One of those being that vsync can infact reduce performance by up to 50%' date=' it doesnt just limit the fps.

    If in a game, with vsync enabled and you have a 60Hz monitor, you come to a scene (ingame) where your computer can only achive 58fps, then you will only get 30fps due to vsync. This is unacceptable for anyone. Of course if BIS did this exactly, people would call them idiots as nobody wants 30fps when they can have 58fps (or anything between 31-59fps) especially in a game demanding as this.

    So what BIS has done to fix this is to also force tripplebuffering. This allows them to force vsync without those fps drops. This is why ArmA2 has fps capped to your refreshrate, but still can have any fps in between without issues (eg people with 60hz monitors can still have stable 47fps ingame).

    This is, however, why we have this thread open. Tripple buffering uses more video memory, aswell as introduce inputlag (aha!, mouse lag!). So while BIS wanted to fix an annoying issue (tearing), they did it at the expense of playability and gameplay - unacceptable.[/quote']

    You sir, are spot on! thumb:

    So come on BIS!

    This thing about mouse lag is not about this game only. I've seen it plenty of times in other games and it's all about lack of power from your computer (for whatever reason, i'm not saying that arma2 isn't well optimized).

    So, the lower is your fps, the more lag you have.

    No, sorry it's not ALL about lack of power from a computer. A contributing factor maybe, for some.

    I wonder if my i7 4ghz, 12gb, xfire 4870x2 is too weak for mouse input ;)

    This game needs two options for those with different hardware profiles and architecture (at the very least).

    Oh... and this statement "So, the lower is your fps, the more lag you have. " Yes, but we are takling about MOUSE LAG, not FPS issues in reality with this game.

    I am getting 60 FPS static with VSYNC on. I want the option to have that increased.
