Possible to disable v-sync in Solaris 10?

RE: Possible to disable v-sync in Solaris 10?
The correct "old-school" answer to your question is: "triple buffering", these days that's been modified into "adaptive refresh" to meet v-sync on monitors OVER 60 Hz, with only v-sync disabled for UNDER 60 FPS performance on 60 Hz monitors.

I don't know if you've used NVIDIA cards under Solaris (that's the only info I can openly find). But look up triple buffering as your answer to locking 60 FPS without tearing WHILE having lower input lag in a game due to "missing deadlines" on the next frame.

For the card you have, the install guide only openly talks about double buffering...nothing else..perhaps there is a hack or ENV variable for this stuff?

All triple buffering does is allow the graphics card to work 2 frames ahead of you, if it MEETS the next deadline (2 frames out) that's what gets displayed, if it misses the deadline for the third frame, it just shows the next frame only.

Cheers.
