>forced VSYNC
It's not forced, you can individually patch every app to disable it.
>>106643170And that's a good thing.
For what possible reason would you want visual tearing?This is like being pissed off that your WiFi doesnt randomly disconnect anymore when you should have the option to.Is it a gaming thing? You want to see half a frame one frame earlier to give you a competitive edge in Call of Duty? I can't think of any other reason you'd want to mangle your video than this.
>>106643419>Is it a gaming thing? You want to see half a frame one frame earlier to give you a competitive edge in Call of Duty? I can't think of any other reason you'd want to mangle your video than this.You nailed it. This is actually the reason, or it *used* to be. For example, back in 2002, when Morrowind first came out, it was a valid way to speed up the frame rate.Nowadays I expect it doesn't matter. Now I play Morrowind using OpenMW and I have to limit (reduce) the frame rate... so I don't care about tearing or not. :)
>>106643419You'd want to turn it off since Gsync and FreeSync exist and that shit does not interact with normal Vsync, which may cause stutters.
>>106643218That doesn't work. The wayland compositor will still do vsync. There is a tearing option in kde for example but it doesn't work because its broken in the kernel.
>>106643786Linux doesn't support VRR.
>>106643786Also for G-Sync you want V-Sync on too, plus LLM (or Reflex).
>>106643770Post your custom spells nwah
>>106643786You retard Wayland vrr works exactly like Xorg or Windows and doesn't give you any extra latency among all display servers since you already driving display at conents refresh rate. The only difference comes at framerates above VRR upper limit since Windows and Xorg would work in immediate mode while Wayland will work in mailbox. But at those refresh rates half of a frame latency is completely negligible. >>106643770This has nothing to do with Wayland. What you described is vsync FIFO where game's frame-rate limited to monitor refresh rate, while Wayland is using mailbox where frame-rate is uncapped and second buffer contains last fully drawn frame (compared to immediate where half drawn garbage could be shown). And it matters only with no-vrr scenarios. Under vrr Windows, Xorg and Wayland work the same.
>>106643857Wrong
>>106643786>>106643864You're both wrong. VRR is a third presentation type compared to FIFO and immediate. If you have VRR enabled and run game within VRR range there shouldn't be any difference unless game is broken itself.

>>106643913>If you have VRR enabled and run game within VRR ranger u blind? literally said: >>106643864>V-Sync on too, plus LLM (or Reflex).the game isn't broken if you don't tell it to stay within vrr range, you want either v-sync in nvcp, llm in nvcp or reflex, replacement for llm
>>106643864>>106643913>>106643963V-Sync was recommended to be on anyways, properly set up, you'll never hit outside the panels VRR range. To keep it in rage you used to use FPS limiters, but Low Latency Mode does it automatically, now we have Reflex in games too, which does the same as Low Latency Mode plus some extra. That's for G-Sync at least.
>>106643419for me it is a gaming thing, vsync makes playing with mouse miserable. for that to be the tradeoff, just for some graphicsfag bullshit, is ridiculous. why shouldn't that just be an option?t. doesn't use wayland, don't know if it actually effects all programs
>>106644643Tearing makes gaming more miserable
>>106644738im going to disagree, because anecdotally i have never noticed tearing, but i notice when vsync is on. if i install a new game and my mouse movement feels awful, it is always vsync
works on my machine.
>>106643218Wayland compositors have a up to 33ms of cursor latency, averaging 16ms.It's immediately obvious and noticable to anyone who knows better.
>>106643846I thought Valve complained about it and forced them to permit opt-in tearing.
Sorry I'm not sitting there with tearing on the desktop
>>106643846Just use the LTS kernel, it still works there.
