Crysis 1 capped at 50fps issue

[Sea]

Hey everyone, was just wondering if anyone else is facing this issue and has a fix for it. My monitor is set at 60hz refresh rate, I have everything set on Ultra and my V-sync is turned on. But the game won't hit 60, but will instead be capped at 50. It really bugs me not having that extra 10fps. Anyone have any solutions?

Weird. Are you sure you haven't accidentally set a 50 Fps lock via third-party tools like afterburner or precisionx?

[Sea]

Nope, I do not have such third party tools. I can play other games at 60fps but not this game. I heard I need to force 60fps for this particular title but I'm not too sure how to do that too.

man i dont know what your talking about im running 60 fps on urtra out of the box

Runs at 60FPS with Vsync on for me at max settings 1080p using the 64bit binaries . Only time Ive seen it hover around 50 was an assload of ♥♥♥♥ is happening on screen. =/

Did you download something before playing the game? I've heard this game doesn't run well on 64bit operating systems (which I am using) and I will have to download something to fix this.

I played using the 32bit exe for the first chapter, after that I used the 64bit one.

Because you run the game at DX10 it capped at 50FPS. Don't know why but try to run it in DX09 or turn off vsync.

[Ocelote.12]

For some strange reason if your resolution has several available refresh rates Crysis selects the lowest. (WHY? Probably because of a wrong operator (< instead of >) in one the lines in the game code.) On my old monitor it was locked (at 1920x1080) at 25 Hz because it was the lowest refresh rate for 1920x1080 for the monitor.

Using Windowed mode + Borderless Gaming + Vsync = trip buffered vsync at full screen refresh

!!! FIXED !!!
Crysis 1 ( 2007 ) Crysis Warhead ( 2008 ) run on 120HZ / 144HZ:

this is the answer. I explain in detail how to do this here

borderless gaming is free if you download it from the developers website. But i prefer to buy the updated/continually supported one on steam

I just figured out something super simple lol

to fix the 50fps cap you can just launch the game in DX9 mode. Only DX10 mode locks the fps to 50.

The fix is to just launch the game with steam launch parameter -DX9 (looks almost identical to DX10 but runs 2x better)
