Vertical Sync
« on: July 20, 2011, 11:47:49 pm »
My application is running through a while loop that looks something like this:

Code: [Select]
while(true)
{
calculateAndDisplayFPS();
MainDraw();
}


Within MainDraw, I call RenderWindow.Display().  I heard that when I enable visual sync, the Display() should sleep until SFML can draw again.  My FPS is calculated with an external-to-sfml timer and drawn with SFML.  However, my FPS does not lock to around-60 like I would expect it to, but often is way higher. Am I missing something?

Maybe Vertical Sync is globally disabled on your computer. The software delivered with the graphics card/driver could let you customize that.

What if you measure FPS with SFML?
