sync

What are the pros and cons of setting sync to true or false. Whats best for performance?

Setting it to true enables VSync. This means that you will not have any screen tearing, but the FramesPerSecond counter will not raise above the maximum amount of Hertz that the monitor can take (usually 60). The consequence is that it's harder to do optimizations, as you might not know the exact amount of FPS in certain situations.

 

Both are fine for performance. Although, I'd recommend VSync enabled as it prevents screen tearing.

Thanks ivar. Interesting.

I use vsync so i can gauge what other users may experience. and it makes slowdowns blatantly obvious. It also introduces input lag, and the leadwerks occluder cant keep up with it.
