Hard GPU Sync. and other options missing from Retroarch Options

Hi all, have set up the Beetle PSX HW core in Retroarch, and wanted to have a play around with the options settings in the GUI, but have noticed that Hard GPU Sync, and I think a couple of others, seem to have vanished? I have the advanced options set to on, is there something else that needs setting?

I am using the Vulcan core, could that be effecting it at all?

As usual, any help much appreciated.

Hard sync doesn’t appear with Vulkan since it isn’t implemented in that driver. I think Vulkan gets low latency without it, but I haven’t seen any objective tests comparing it to GL with hard sync yet.

Put “Max Swapchain Images” at 2 instead, it’s equivalent.

Thanks for the replies, had a feeling that may be the case. Good to know about the Swapchain Images as well, will set that to 2. Think it is set at 3 at the moment (not sure if it defaulted to 3 at some point, as I don’t ever remember setting it to 3?)

Do you mind me asking, what settings in the Options have you found to work best with this core?

You don’t need GPU Hard Sync with the Vulkan video driver, you already get it for free.
