What does Vsync 0, 1, or 2 do?

What does this mean? I know what vsync does, but I have never seen a game have vsync options like this. It is usually either on or off.

was wondering that myself. I thought it might be different refresh rate speeds for different monitors or TV (30, 60 or 120hz but it was just a hunch. Hopefully someone that actually knows will answer.

VSync options : 0 (none), 1 (at monitor framerate), 2 (every 2 frames, so half of monitor framerate).

Thankyou!

[FroBodine]

Thank you rinaldop. Why the heck did the developers not explain that with a tooltip. It frustrates me to no end when features are in a game and there is absolutely no explanation what they are!

Hi, so which option (0,1 or 2) is best for a lower spec PC / Graphics Card?

[datguy13]

Option "0". VSync will limit frames, but this will actually put stress on a low-end video card, so avoid using it unless you're getting massive tearing and screen stutters, in which case you can try to see if it helps.
