Flicker Reduction in the graphic settings effects the frame rate quite a bit in some cases.

To my shock, a console game has a setting that effects performance. It appears that when Flicker Reduction is enabled it engages hard vsync meaning there will be no tearing at all. Perhaps the designers, are referring to tearing and not flicker with this setting. The problem however with hard vsync is that it creates a very noticeable judder when the screen is panning from left to right and under heavy load and the result is a very inconsistent refresh due to the the frame rate tanking more as this setting increases the rendering and memory load.

Sharp mode appears to be the fastest mode as far as frame rate is concerned and from my testing it appears to be true. I can not see a difference between Sharp and Normal.
 
I tried sharp mode yesterday, and i got better frame-rates at the replays. !!!!!!!
I tried to switch HDMI deep colour to off from XMB, as somebody suggested.
Try that too.

I have the Ultra slim btw.
 
Sharpen should give theoretical best framerates as it turns off all AA.
Turning off Deep colour and RGB full will do nothing.
 
You sure it kills all AA ? Seems there might still be 2x going on. I read that there was two different types of AA in use. 2x txaa and a post process aa and that sharp just kills the post process AA since it causes blur. I can't really see any more jaggies and that is on a 55 inch screen in 1080p. I have switched back and forth and I only notice a little more screen tearing in sharp mode.

I know it worked like that in GT5 but i'm sure the post process AA has been dropped altogether in GT6 that's why there are more jaggies.
It was/is the TXAA "sharpen" turned off.
Probably the reason they upped the resolution from 1280x1080 to 1440x1080.
Didn't quite work out though imo.

Yes that's true. (i switch it on again. !!!!)

I tried putting off the HDMI 24Hz thing, as i don't use Ps3 to watch bly-ray movies.

Replays seems fine, and in car interior races too.

But i don't now if that makes any different. Could somebody try it out ????

24fps is for Blu-ray movie playback and only if your TV supports it.
Either way it will make no difference to GT6 or any other game.
