Can't seem to disable vsync

[neptendo]

So far I tried:

skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs
BethINI
enblocal.ini
SSE display tweaks ini
Nvidia control panel

Messed around with all these and still get vsync in fullscreen

Maybe there's something i'm overlooking

Several options force vsync on. I think AO is one of them but I'm not sure.

What's AO?? Ambient occlusion?

Yes.

Also thinking about it some more the way the graphics engine works it has to sync every frame anyway. Physics are tied to graphical rendering. So vsync might just be impossible to turn off, and if you mod it out it might break the physics.

AO has nothing to do with Vsync.
It's possible to disable Vsync in this game. All the methods above should work. Usually setting iVSyncPresentInterval=0 is enough as well as disabling Vsync in the GPU control panel for the game specifically or globally.
How do you check whether it's disabled anyway? By checking the framerate in game?

While Ambient occlusion can impact performance (of course shadows) it has nothing to do with Vsync.

I managed to turn Vsync off once. The mouse movement became nice, but then my eyes started bleeding from all the screen tearing. I hate Vsync, but screen tearing in this game is disgusting. So i turned it back on.

When skyrim was made AO was linked to vsync. They never fixed it with SE afaik, but that's really not the point.

The game uses graphical interactions to process its physics, so disabling vsync increases the incidence of things like bones bouncing off of unrendered terrain so hard they kill you.

Where do you pull it out from? When Skyrim was made there was no native AO support, only if you force it through ENB or GPU settings. I don't see how ambient occlusion or any other graphical setting could force Vsync to be on for it to work. Perhaps there are some weird engines that do that.
Whether or not unlocking the framerate causes physics and scripting bugs (SSE Display Tweaks exists for a reason though) is another story. The question was how to disable Vsync.

There is also ReShade in case you are using it, too. The mod "SSE Display Tweaks" will also override any fps and sync settings if you let it. Check there, too, if you have it installed.

I figured out the problem. There was a skyrimpref.ini in the Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Skyrim folder for some reason and it was overriding my SSE Display Tweaks settings and the skyrimpref.ini in the mygames folder.

I deleted the one in the skyrim folder and all is well. Finally got borderless mode without v-sync and everything runs smooth.

Thank you all for trying to help
