Hello everyone, I've been trying Vsync recently and running into some problems. I'm using a combination of high settings, but filters like MSAA and AA are turned off. When I turn Vsync off, I see 80+ fps with no dropped frames under 60, though it feels a bit sluggish. Enabling Vsync gives me around 60 fps, but it often drops to 50-55, which isn't very enjoyable. My setup should handle these settings smoothly at 60+ fps, yet I'm not getting the performance I expect whether I use Vsync or not. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Disable v-sync, then restart it each game launch and whenever you press alt+tab. This should resolve the FPS fluctuations you're experiencing.
