vertical sync

these days, I am compelting vertical sync

D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_DEFAULT

This is nearly equivalent to D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_ONE. See remarks.

D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_ONE

The driver will wait for the vertical retrace period (the runtime will "beam follow" to prevent tearing).Present operations will not be affected more frequently than the screen refresh; the runtime will complete at most one Present operation per adapter refresh period. This is equivalent to using D3DSWAPEFFECT_COPYVSYNC in DirectX 8.1. This option is always available for both windowed and full-screen swap chains. See remarks.

D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_IMMEDIATE

The runtime updates the window client area immediately and might do so more than once during the adapter refresh period. This is equivalent to using D3DSWAPEFFECT_COPY in DirectX 8. Presentoperations might be affected immediately. This option is always available for both windowed and full-screen swap chains. See remarks.

there are samples in dx sdk

vsync on ---D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_DEFAULT

vsync off ---D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_IMMEDIATE

deviceSettings.d3d10.SyncInterval = D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_IMMEDIATE;

hr = pSwapChain ->Present( SyncInterval, dwFlags );

------------------------------------

垂直同步脉冲（Vertical synchronization, Vsync）是加在两帧之间。跟水平同步脉冲类似，但它指示着前一帧的结束，和新一帧的开始。 垂直同步脉冲是一个持续时间比较长的脉冲，可能持续一行或几行的扫描时间，但在这段时间内，没有像素信号出现。

Remarks

Windowed mode supports D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_DEFAULT, D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_IMMEDIATE, and D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_ONE. D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_DEFAULT and the D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_ONE are nearly equivalent (see the information regarding timer resolution below). They perform similarly to COPY_VSYNC in that there is only one present per frame, and they prevent tearing with beam-following. In contrast, D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_IMMEDIATE will attempt to provide an unlimited presentation rate.

Full-screen mode supports similar usage as windowed mode by supporting D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_IMMEDIATE regardless of the refresh rate or swap effect. D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_DEFAULT uses the default system timer resolution whereas the D3DPRESENT_INTERVAL_ONE calls timeBeginPeriod to enhance system timer resolution. This improves the quality of vertical sync, but consumes slightly more processing time. Both parameters attempt to synchronize vertically.
