DXGI flip model locked to vsync

I found swap chain created with flip model (DXGI_SWAP_EFFECT_FLIP_SEQUENTIAL or DXGI_SWAP_EFFECT_FLIP_DISCARD) was locked to VSync (1/60 sec), calling IDXGISwapChain1::Present1 method with SyncInterval set to 0 as follows doesn't work.

swap_chain->Present1(0, 0, &param);

Does anyone know how to disable VSync for DXGI flip model?

I know this was a long time ago, but I found a solution that worked for me.

When calling Present() on the swap chain, you should pass DXGI_PRESENT_ALLOW_TEARING as a flag (second parameter). For that to work, the swap chain requires the DXGI_SWAP_CHAIN_FLAG_ALLOW_TEARING flag to be set.

According to Microsoft's documentation, it's used for variable refresh rate displays. I guess that makes sense (I am still very much a newbie when it comes to graphics programming).

Hope that helps!

What is your version of Windows 10? UWP and windowed swap chain used to always be locked to VSync, prior to the 1511 build.
