<p>Contexts that support either of the <code>WGL_EXT_swap_control_tear</code> and <code>GLX_EXT_swap_control_tear</code> extensions also accept negative swap intervals, which allow the driver to swap even if a frame arrives a little bit late. You can check for the presence of these extensions using <a class="el" href="group__context.html#ga87425065c011cef1ebd6aac75e059dfa">glfwExtensionSupported</a>. For more information about swap tearing, see the extension specifications.</p>
