So enabling Vsync locks me at 30fps?

[StaticSaynt]

Dunno why but when I enable Vsync my game gets locked at 30fps for the most part.

I'm just at the very beginning room in the campaign and its pretty much fluctuating between 30fps and 60fps constantly..but it mainly stays on 30 fps the entire time.

When I disable Vsync I get MASSIVE screen tears but it runs at 60-80fps.

Anyone elses game doing this?

I have an R9 390. I haven't downloaded any new drivers yet for Doom.

game doesn't support triple-buffering (yet). They promised support but it's not actually in the game.
I have the same card btw.

I have the same problem with Vsync. When I have it turned down the fps goes down to 30-40 fps and if seems that the game massively slows down. So I don't have it turned on.

Now I use a GeForce GTX 960, and I use adaptive sync which only gives me minor screen tears but a near constant 60fps. I also downloaded Nividia's new drivers and it has helped with both the screen tearing and FPS immensely. I suspect that AMD hasn't released an optimized driver Doom for their graphics card and that is why you are having your issues. You probably should download the current drivers if you haven't already.

quick explanation:
double buffered vsync is either 60 or 30fps. It cuts your refreshrate in half as soon as you drop 1fps below 60
triple buffered vsync allows you to have variable framerates within your monitor refresh rate.
it won't cut your fps in half when you drop below 60.

Devs promised triple buffering but it's not in the game.

Using r9 290x, getting 60fps. Using catalyst omega drivers

Same here...I have a R9 390 and I have exactly the same problem as you...

Yeah I saw that suggestion on another site and couldn't find the setting either.

Update tho... setting it to 'Windowed' mode caps it at 60 for some reason...Fullscreen and Borderless with vsync and my frames are back to 30. hrmmm

Ill try downloading the drivers pinned to the main page I guess. Update in a bit

[Gotcha28]

Oh screen tearing I remember that before I grabbed a G-Sync moniter :P

new drivers won't fix anything, the game doesn't support triple-buffering

So what is the solution?

Triple-buffering from AMD Catalyst doesn't work in game.

[i green, i idiot]

your pc drops below 60fps while vsync on --> hello 30 fps

only 2 solutions:
disable vsync or wait for the engineers at id software to implement triple-buffering for vsync

60fps smooth for me ! but at low :P
