Half-Life 2 Tips

Using Vsync to get the most FPS

Most LCD monitors redraw 60 times per second, and if extra frames are rendered between these intervals, or in an unsynchronized manner it can cause visual disturbances and unnecessary strain on your video card.  Enabling Vsync should not cause a drop in FPS. The benefit of this is that the frames that are drawn are perfectly synchronized with the blanking interval, and a noticeable increase in smoothness will occur.  If you have Vsync on you can then enter fps_max 60 or fps_max 120 depending on the refresh rate of your monitor.
