Question about VSYNC not reliably working
I've been wondering why sometimes vsync doesn't always seem to work even when it's specified to be on and I'm running an application full screen. This is something I've noticed on both ATI and NVIDIA...
So after reading this thread on mtbs3d I learned, at least with the Nvidia control panel you can actually specify which display should be used as the "clone source" when cloning.
I tested it and it seems to work exactly as desired. When I clone my desktop to both Rift and Sony monitor and I set my Rift as the "clone source", I can run a game with v-sync and the Rift has no tearing while the Sony does. If I set the Sony to the clone source, the Rift gets tearing and the Sony doesn't!
Edit: Also apparently with ATI in catalyst, under desktop management, you can right click the screen for Rift DK and select 'preferred screen'.
