Vertical Sync, and Aiming in FPS games, Changes?

Well I turned on v-sync in Left 4 dead, counter strike and source, and my aiming seemed to have changed. It felt very weird, like a little lagged....

Has any1 ever experienced this?

Its not in every game, mostly valve's games.

I hope ppl understand what I mean about the aim, it just feels off compared to when I let the fps go as they wish.

Not just regular lag, Mouse lag, it feels like when I'm aimin that its half a second offf.

Its when ever th frames are v-synced or capped. I turned it off, and I can finally play regular Counter strike with out the delay in the mouse.

L1qu1d whats the point of that system if its a CS:S computer its like buying a Lamborghini to never driver over 10 MPH

try "m_filter 1"...

2fast4you, the reason of that pc is "enthusiasm". Whats the point of buying a lambo when you 'll never go @ 350km/h? And dont tell me that those who buy them do go over 300km/h cz they are only a few... And thats because the people who have the money for such things, might not like the same "games" in this case as you do, but are still enthusiasts like you and me. And i dont see how your post/comment helps the thread or forums move forward.


Wheresmycar: i tried m_filter 1 in cs 1.6 but didnt really notice any change. Anyway i dont see how v-sync helps in any way in my gaming so it will just stay of for me.

OP: just saw your rigs spec, Nice work there.

OP

Don't worry about it, insults don't anger me, just false information

I bought it for my dad's tv and yes I'm an enthusiast.

I play Crysis sandbox now that I can.

V sync doesn't help my aim, but when I turn it off, it finally feels like I'm playing properly, I only noticed it in left 4 dead and cs 1. Honestly with it on in those 2 games, its like lightning, you see the flash but the sound comes after.

Thank you for the compliments though

Check out my site when its done http://www.icanspeakcomputer.com

send me any rigs you want to be displayed on it.

And again thnx for the help, you guys always know what to say

yup,

I was scared because I use to rock in 1.6, and when I switched over from my old custom PC (when i had an ATI card instead of Nvidia) I forgot that it was disabled, and I found out by accident.

I was wondering...wtf am I really that bad at aiming in the bloody game now???

It's a driver issue, if we talk about ATI video cards. I use a HD3850 and I have a ticket opened at ATI's customer care web page since july 26th. After a long list of replies and a lot of time waiting, their last "solution", dated december 15:

Idiots!
