vsync and d3d

there have been several posts indicating that if you turn off vsync on your graphics card, that you will see a significant boost in fps in n4. my question is, how do you turn it off if you run d3d (i have a voodoo5 card)? is there a util or something since it doesn't show up in the voodoo control panel. if so, anybody have a link to it? thx in advance.

In order to have "disable VSYNC" available in D3D, you must install the "coolbits" registry hack available at: http://www.3dchipset.com/utilities/nvidia/files/coolbits.reg Save the file to a folder and double click on it. You should then have a V-Sync option in your "More Direct3D" display setting. Set it to "Always Off". Eric Busch of Papyrus posted the above earlier. I have done this and it works no problem. -Tony-

err... the coolbits is for nVidia cards.

You should be able to find a program called overclock. It gives you an overclocking tab in your V5 display properties. In this tab you can overclock and chip and also disable VSYNC for both OpenGL and D3D. Try www.3dfiles.com , in the Utilities section. -Dominic "Mika Takala" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:96iq12$qo4$[email hidden]...

In many cases, manufacturer specific drivers (i.e. Creative/BlasterControl) has all of this already enabled, and I've had CoolBits actually cause problems with some of these drivers. -Larry "Tony Jester" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:LR1j6.1049$[email hidden]...

Got this file myself but have to say that I haven't noticed any real fps improvements sorry to say... PH On Fri, 16 Feb 2001 13:07:26 GMT, "Dominic Da Silva" <[email hidden]> wrote:
