I attacked a couple of picture of the screen that show the tear in the last slice. It is not a total rip as I see many times v-sync is able to pull the tear on sync but the tear happens though . I see many times the colours of the 4th slice to disappear. Last edited by Torkio; 28 August 2018 at 14:36. |

I didn't want to start a new thread for this:
I finally got a 144Hz monitor. I get app. 40-45% CPU usage emulating an A1200 in 50Hz with Beam Racing = 4 Slices (DX11). But with the same config in 100Hz it's app. 75-80% usage. Is it supposed to happen? Seems a bit high for a Ryzen 5 3600. Last edited by Retro-Nerd; 16 June 2020 at 17:13. |

Hello !
Sorry for hijacking the thread but I'm not sure it was worth opening a new one ? I can't get beam racing to work on my computer. I have no idea why, but when I enable it, WinUAE becomes horribly slow (possibly even slower if I increase slices count). Programs run at slower pace than they should, display and sound are stuttering a lot. My computer is beefy enough (i5-12600KF / RX 7900 XT) and I have tried all combination of settings to no avail. I have also tried two WinUAE / display drivers combinations (WinUAE5200_x64 with a slightly older AMD driver, and latest WinUAE with latest AMD driver, just after I recently updated). Also, I upgraded from a 144Hz display to a 240Hz one, which (unsurprisingly) made no difference either. Could it be a bug related to the display drivers or some kind of incompatibility with particular graphic cards ? I have googled it a bit and it looks like nobody has ever reported this problem before. |

You need a 50 or 100hz display.

It works with nearly every monitor that supports 50Hz (PAL) and 60Hz (NTSC) via Windows driver. You can add custom refresh rates through the AMD Radeon driver if 50Hz isn't available by default (Gaming -> Display -> Custom resolutions). Then just use "Lagless Vsync (Beamraced)" and maybe 2-3 slices for a start.

^ Yeah, I was coming back here to report, it is exactly what I did.
I was unsure my monitor would like it but it syncs okay and it doesn't complain. With monitor/Windows set to fixed 50Hz beam racing works with no issue ! Great. Thank you both. |
