How do I turn off vsync?

Palliative · 02-07-2012, 07:14 PM

I'm having bad mouse lag issues in team fortress two and I've read in several different places that turning off vsync will help with this, but I can't find instructions on how to turn off vsync anywhere.
I'm not even sure if it's a console command in TF2 or some video settings I need to edit outside of TF2.

Does anybody know how to turn off vsync?

in your video card control panel, if its an nvidia card right click desktop and go to nvidia control panel,

if its and AMD card, right click desktop go to catalyst control panel

Just do it with the ingame options interface. Like i said.
Also you might try to enable anti-aliasing x2 together with vsync, because in some cases this can increase performance.
If not, you can anyway disable vsync in the same options setting of tf2.
