r_swapInterval

Locks the game's frame rate to your monitor's refresh rate to prevent screen tearing. Warning: Competitive players MUST leave this Off, as V-Sync introduces severe mouse input lag.

Pro Tip

Keep this OFF forever — the 8–16ms of added mouse lag from V-Sync is the reason pros miss rails they should be hitting.
