V-Sync capping framerate at 60 fps how to workaround

★★★ Newbie

Hello everyone, I need V-Sync enabled to avoid tearing/stuttering with my monitor, but when I enable it either in-game or in Nvidia control panel, my fps are capped at 60 instead of 97 (as in the Nvidia control panel)... how do I unlock my framerate with V-Sync on? That only happens with this game.

Re: V-Sync capping framerate at 60 fps how to workaround

@DeejeyCris  Vertical sync will lock your framerates to the refresh rate of your monitor, so if your monitor is running at 60 Hz, you'll get a limit of 60 fps with v-sync enabled.  This is unavoidable based on why v-sync works the way it does and isn't fixable, as in, you can't get the benefits of v-sync without the fps limit.

 

If your monitor doesn't run faster than 60 Hz, you could try the "fast" option for v-sync in the Nvidia Control Panel: this allows the game to run at up to double your monitor's refresh rate.

Hi setting the "fast" option seems to have done the trick, thanks a lot!

I know this comes almost 2 years too late but heads up I fixed this by changing my display settings in Nvidia control panel. On my gaming monitor under display/change resolution it was set to 1920x1080 (native) which had a refresh rate of 50-60hz but I scrolled down to PC and found the same resolution but it allowed me to set the monitor's rate to it's max of 144hz.

@Supratonic 

 

You can only set the refresh rate to 144Hz because your monitor can display 144Hz, not because every monitor can.

A monitor that has a refresh rate of 144Hz refreshes the display 144 times in a second, meaning it display 144 frames in one second. (And not one more. Tongue out)

 

As @puzzlezaddict correctly stated Vsync (in difference to Fast Sync.) simply means that the games frame rate is synchronizes to the refreshes rate of the monitor = the number of frames the monitor can display in a second.
That on the other hand means there won't be any additional frames in the pipeline = no screen tearing.

 

Vsync on your monitor will cap the frame-rate of a game to 144, OPs Monitor can only display 60 frames per seconds so Vsync will cap the frame-rate of a game to 60.
