Dear everybody,

I have no much 3D knowledge and don't udnerstand two of them: "Information Overlay" and "V-Sync". I guess maybe this link is helpful: http://www.passmark.com/products/pt_adv3d.htm

From the help file:

Information Overlay
Place text in the top left corner of the test showing the current frame rate and other information.


V-Sync
Synchronizes the video cards output with the physical display refresh rate, this can prevent a 'tearing' effect at lower resolutions, however with this on the test can never run at a higher FPS then the physical display is capable of. Typically most modern displays run at 60 fps, however some displays will go as high as 120. V-Sync also has additional small performance penalty as the video card often has to wait between finishing drawing the frame and the physical display being ready to start another refresh.
