maNarCo Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 We all know that with Beam Sync disabled we notice significant increase on benchmark scores (Xbench). Beam Sync = Vsync. These are the most visable and noticable changes with Beam Sync disabled according to me: -Using the zooming effect, noticable tearing while in motion. -Widget Morphing Try this if you want to see if Beam Sync benefits you. (I tried both on LCD and CRT monitors, it works): Open dashboard. Click on the + to show the widgets. Now grab a widget and don't drop it. just drag back and forth from its original position to observe the transitional morphing. You will notice choppyness with Beam Sync enabled, but will not with it disabled. There is noticable difference. My specs: p4 2.6 (sse2) ATI 9600XT 128 (CI+QE+Q2E+Beam sync disabled) 512mb ram. 10.4.5 Also see my post on slowdown in Pages (iwork06): http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=13603 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13605-the-power-of-beam-sync/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
