While installing games on my new system, I've ran across many that suppot VSYNC. By defualt this has always been disabled. Should I be enabling this setting in the video game menus when I'm using an ATI Radeon X700 pro video card?

No. I'm mostly just curious if someone knows if my card supports it and if I should have it enabled for better performance.

Thanks for the info. My highest monitor refresh rate with this 18in LCD screen is 75mhz so that wouldn't be a good thing.
