anyone who says turn of vsynch is an idiot.

vsynch limits your GFX cards output rate to maatch the vertical refresh rate of your monitor. if your monitor redraws iutself 75 times a second and you get 100FPS, 25 frames are going to waste and all your frames are slightly off. Vsynch fixes that by setting a cap. It is easier on your hardware and nets better real worl performance. The only times where you would want to disable it are during benchmarking or if it causes issues.

and to the idiot who compared this to AMD vs Intel, you need some research. for the last decade AMD has been in the lead with the exception of the golden era of Northwood. as of the Last 3 years, Intel fell further and further behind using a design it now admits is inferior. All those who prefered intel's netburst processors will have a foot shoved up their asses in the next week or so when Core 2 is out and Netburst is officially slated out. With nvidia vs. Ati it has always been neck and neck(with the exception of the fx series) with neither side abel to declare a descisive win. With AMD vs. Intel, the margins have been greater with everything pre k7 being trampled on, the k7 coming and more or less obliterating during a time intel had quality control issues, then going on to defeat the netburst architecture until the northwood revision was out, where intel truely dominated. Then k8 came out and it beat northwood, prescott came to attempt to fix that but did nothing seeing as northwood outperformed it clock/clock and it didn't scale up well. Then intel released some horible abomination known as conrtoe which is everything meshed together and it seems to work really well, so well that it is just king. With CPUs, the winner has more or less always been obvious. The time I woudl say it was closest would by k7 vs. coppermine, both were neck and neck, performance/clock being mroe ro less identical, but k7 OCed much better and was typically cheaper due to poor batch yields on coppermine.

Well, excuse me... and also I meant that for the fact that it created a cap. Why? Because we where benchmarking. /com If you didn't realize that Xelink. >.>

ATi is better in my opinion, but nVidia is bigger and has more populairity.
