VSYNC (or V-sync) is shortform for Vertical synchronization.

In video games, if you rapidly turn around, you will experience a phenomenon called 'screen tearing'.

Imagine a pole in the game, and if you turn quickly, instead of the entire pole moving past your field of view, only the lower or upper half moves, while the other half stays there for a split second, and then moves away as well.

This phenomenon is caused if your graphic card is working faster than the refresh rate of your monitor.

Turning VSYNC on tells the graphic card to not produce updated imagery (frames) any faster than your monitor's screen rate (usually 60 - 75Hz; 120 Hz if you're a rich kid or still have a CRT, lol)

...thereby "dropping" the frames down to whatever your monitor's maximum display rate is, eliminating the screen tearing.
Yo this screen tearin's making me crazy dawg, better turn on the VSYNC.

Vincents are a man of their word. They make a lot of friends and enjoy playing sports. Vincent's are extremely trustworthy. Vincent's are usually motivated by quotes. Vincent's work hard and accomplish goals. They show the same respect that a person would show them. If people were to go behind Vincent's back or anything like that. He would forgive them. But lose their trust. Vincent's 9/10 are usually the alpha of the pack. They enjoy putting more than one smile on a person face everyday.

Incorrect way to spell vyncent. Vyncent is spelt like Vincent not Vyncent, so if your name is Vyncent with a y, you are a black loser whose parents name you after them, mostly the dad.
Not vyncent, vincent
