Threaded Mode | Linear Mode

Is there any chance we can get this? The reason I ask is that when I play using fullscreen I have to make a compromise. Having vsync on causes stutters or frame sync issues, but turning it off results in screen tearing.

Adaptive vsync in NVidia control panel doesn't help with the tearing either. However, playing in a window has neither issue and having it borderless would be perfect. Thanks for listening.

Edit: I was wrong, it still has stutters in windowed mode. If I may make another suggestion, PCSX2 has an absolutely perfect implementation of vsync. In the gs window settings if you turn on both of the bottom options, it has no stutters or tearing at all. I know this well because I was playing Ys: The Ark of Napishtim and the stutter was unbearable before setting those.

By 'stutter', you mean flickering?
If yes, that is cause by 'Skip Buffered Rendering' (previously known as Non-buffered Rendering) and not Vsync

Edit: Vsync have no problem with me at all

Our full screen is actually just a borderless window.

We just call wglSwapIntervalEXT(1) when vsync is turned on, like pcsx2 seems to. I'm not sure what the other checkbox does, because I don't have a second one, and it doesn't appear in the source code:

Using the latest stable release of pcsx2 1.2.1 in the gs window settings the bottom two options are "Wait for Vsync on refresh" and "Dynamically toggle Vsync depending on frame rate". Without both of those checked I had awful stutter in most games, like I said Ys was one. If you can test it out I'm sure you will see the difference. Thanks for replying.

Okay, well they just removed that option a couple months ago, so you might want to let them know if it was a good feature:

Well, auto-disabling vsync when emulation falls behind doesn't sound crazy, and that seems like essentially what this does.

I just got the latest build and you're right, it's not there anymore. I haven't had a chance to try it yet to see if the stutter is there but for some reason vsync is greyed out for me. Thanks a lot for the replies.
