I dont trust the vertical refresh. It leads a trail of lies and deceit not to mention it tends to fail me now and then because of monitor settings. Plus, it only pauses for the rest of the refresh rate, it can't be used for things as complex as a hi-res timer.
But yeah, vertical refresh rate works fine for some stuff.

The bad thing with VSync is Windows. Windows screws the VSync sequence with its continuous interrupts, so VSync will not always give that flicker-less, constant-speed animation it gave in pure DOS.
For example, it is impossible doing pure page-flipping in QB using VSync, 'cause it desyncs and flicker in Windows. I'll post my code. You'll se it flickering in Windows, but if you boot in DOS (pure DOS, not DOS boxes) flickers will just go away.
