From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

compared to using no sync at all*
ntsync is still a good performance booster, but we had esync and fsync before it that were almost as fast.
the headline is a little misleading because it exaggerates it, still good news though.
Thanks. I cancelled my upvote.
No refunds
The article listed 800% fps gains due to ntsync. Wait, were those over fsync, or vanilla?
probably over vanilla, but it's important to note a couple of outliers really did see big performance gains.
iirc dirt i think?
