Lack of Vsync is the #1 reason I use windows. I refuse to tolerate an
OS that flickers like a 20 year old street light.

This is a major issue with PC with built-in Intel gfx or Ati gfx cards that utilize the built-in driver that ubuntu comes with. There is no options to enable vsync in the drivers themselves and the CCSM vblank option doesn't work. Nvidia restricted drivers provide the option inside of nvidia-settings so its not a problem for nvidia users. Having screen tear really detracts from the compiz experience and makes everything look unpolished as a whole.
