Hi Johnz

By all means have it disabled. It actually works better that way. It is to do with the way the card "paints" the screen. 8)

You should only need to enable it if you are using a CRT monitor as because of the way the gun refreshes the screen it can't keep up with the GPU. Otherwise you won't get any benefit from having it enabled. However if you feel that it is better then by all means trun it on. ;)

I'm afraid that I can't answer that as to why it should make a difference. Maybe it has something to do with way the driver works. :-\

I don't think there should be any negative sides to having it enabled but if it's causing problems, keep it disabled.

I know that most people don't really care about these things but what about GPU load and possibly lower power consumption and temperatures if your card is more powerful than needed?
