Has anyone come with with a weird v-synch problem where turning v-synch on does nothing?
I’ve been doing a few tests and I had a setting where I would get 100 FPS but the game runs as if it was like 8x turbo mode.
Turning v-synch on and/or turning frame rate variable/fixed still makes the game run on turbo mode regardless of settings =(
V-sync is just so you don’t get that screen tearing on fast refresh. You can see it on that 4th test with the characters rotating. With V-sync off, you’ll notice considerable tears.
I thought by prevent tearing it caps it at the monitor’s refresh rate? i.e 60 Mhz = 60 FPS cap.
Check your video card options, it might be set to “force off”
That’s true. I dunno, it’s probably because of the resolution of my monitor and how much it has to render and such in full screen it just kills it. The windowed one is probably a little over 1/3 to a little under half of my screen, so that could be why. I’ll just stick with my PS3 version tho, because I’m too broke to upgrade my comp. 
Can one of u guys check my posts above for my specs and let me know what settings I should try? I will run it on defualt with V-Sync on, then off.
Thanks!

Ati doesnt seem to have an option like it. At least thats what I didnt find going through each option. I’ll check again =/
I’m almost sure the CPU is the bottleneck here
I ran it just fine maxed out the first time I did it, but everytime after that, it goes black and flashes when I pick fullscreen.

The only time where I have a minor noticeable slowdown is when Ryu does his ultra. Every other Ultra in the benchmark doesn’t cause an FPS drop.

Not bad…
I tried it at mid settings and visually obtained around 50-60 fps. The benchmark program seems to be busted for me though, recording an average of 0.3ish FPS and giving me a grade of E: unable to run SFIV.
No matter what I do, I get E, even on lowest settings on 800x600. Oh well, I’m pretty sure I can run this game.
Max settings on everything.

Let me say, the game looks AMAZING at the maximum settings
I wasn’t going to buy it for the PC, but now I pretty much have no choice but to hop on there and get flowcharted to death again and again
OMG, I hate u.
lmao.
Yup, Set the Refresh rate at 60 and V sync on to get the best experience (around59.7 fps) anything above that is too fast and anything below is too slow 
the only problem im having is that MY geforce 9600 gt crashed on any AA values lesser than C8x :sad: and at that value i get about 40 FPS :s !
Its still lookin good without AA on at 1440 x 900
