10.1.3 S3 ScreenToys 3D Settings Features Descriptions
Feature
descriptions
The Feature list contains options available for
adjustment. Most features can be applied for both
Direct3D and OpenGL 3D applications.
Selected features and associated settings are saved
automatically and maintained by the driver. If a new
driver is installed, custom setting values must be re-
established. Settings are not affected by changes in
resolution, refresh or display output device changes.
Vertical Sync
Control
Sometimes called Wait for Vsync, this feature option
controls whether or not buffer swaps and other activities
should be synchronized to the display’s Vertical
Synchronization or Vertical Retrace Signal and blanking
period, during which the display blanks as it retraces its
way from the bottom right to the upper left corner of the
screen.
Setting options include:
By Application (default) – Select By Application if
you want the Vertical Sync Control
setting to
change on application requests. If Vsync OFF is
requested, the back buffer is flipped without waiting
for vertical retrace. If the application requests VSync
ON, then the back buffer is flipped while in vertical
retrace.
ON – Select ON to always force a wait for monitor
sync. This option will reduce “tearing” artifacts.
