Good stuff. p.s. doing some "Tom" raiding lately? http://i49.tinypic.com/fawn5z.jpg

So when should VSync ever be used? Personally I never enable it but again under what condition does it help if at all?

Well I guess that would depend on your monitor. I always have terrible screen tear without vsync I cant stand it. This tv seems to be better in that regard then my last one but still http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9z3MQeogcY that shows you what screen tearing looks like.

This is so old so i hope Hilbert sees this: Hi, I just found your An introduction to FCAT benchmarking - A FCAT Conclusion article hoping it will be step by step guide how to do everything [Including links to all the tools since something you spoke about like adding colored line to every frame, i have no idea what tool can do that], but alas it wasn't a guide but introduction. 🙂 What was specially interesting is your usage of "capture PC" with capture card to analyze PC games, which should open up doing the same for console games. Right now there are no real tools to analyze console FPS, Digital Foundry uses in house tools that they build and otehr YT that analyze console video use FCAT [I think, since there is no otehr tools to analyze captured video and create a graph]. Its been 5 years since then, can you consider creating a full guide step by step and all that, how we can do it using a second Capture PC, the usage of capture card is important since it will also allow doing the same for console games.
