FPS locked at 56FPS?

[abalian]

No matter what I do, I'm not getting more (or less) than 56-57fps. 3-4fps doesn't seem like a lot but certain movements aren't at all smooth as they should be.

[Rabbidscool]

that's wierd, mine always capped at 60 FPS (with an exception of the Samba Studios)

Even with VSync enabled?

That did it! V-Sync is Always On in my Control Panel, but enabling it with the game config locked it to 60. Thanks! Turns out the control panel V-sync is not as reliable as I thought all these years.

It's less a problem of NVidia's version and more a problem of how this game's frame limiter works.

Setting VSync to 'on' in the game disables the frame rate limiter and allows you to run at your monitor cap :)

Just for anyone that wants to know, the best way to run this without vsync is to enable vsync in the config, but then force it off at nvidia driver level, then cap the frame rate at 60 fps with rivatuner statistics server. The reason I suggest enabling it in the config, is the engine has to 'believe' that vsync is enabled or it'll cap at 59 fps and start stuttering.

There can be a lot of input lag with vsync and I know people like to run without it. But unfortunately, if you simply disable it on the config, the engine caps at 59 fps. And the engine also needs to run in a fixed time step at either 30fps or 60 fps. So when you run at any other frame rate (either over 60fps or 59 fps) the game stutters

I've found that you will always need V-sync. Even if I get 60 or less, I still get screen tearing (albeit much less) because well, the frames aren't sync'd. I've never seen it cause noticeable input lag, so I don't understand how it's a choice for some people unless said people have G-Sync monitors. If you get input lag, it probably lies in the display/connection and/or motion smoothing feature on the TV.

Yes, I understand it will cause tearing. But if you want to see how much input lag it causes, just use your mouse on the main menu screen. You should feel it's very swimmy like its under water. it's very laggy in 60hz mode with vsync, because the frame rate isn't capped at the refresh. The refresh is the only thing stopping the game from running more than 60 fps and this creates a buffer of frames which can cause input lag.

BTW, even if you do use vsync, I still recommend capping at 60 fps with RTSS, since that will cut down on some input lag too (not as much as 59 would, but stil).

Also, yes I do have a gsync monitor. I force highest refresh at 144hz and cap at 60 fps. Since the game cannot go over 60 fps without serious stuttering. And there is even less input lag doing this, since the frame actually reaches the screen in 1/144th of a second instead of 1/60th of a second, even though the monitor is effectively running at 60hz with VRR

my computer can run the game max at around 500 fps and when it goes to the loading screen its around 5000 fps which is very fast

I hope you're trolling. if that's so then you must have easily OC'd your graphics card to the extent it's now classified as a fire hazard.

no im not my computer has the msi z170a gaming m5 motherboard with the new intel core i5 6th gen 6600k processor 16 gigs of ddr4 ram 4 gigs of nvidia gtx 970 thats why my game runs so fast i have new parts while u guys have waek older parts

ah hah, why is it running at 500 fps in game though? your graphics card should have a cap on it which prevents it from getting to a insanely high number like that. realisticly, you want to target between 60fps on anything. (lowest amount) to the golden 100. (highest amount) and only ever going over if you're feeling ballsy or the game should be non demanding.

now, this game isn't demanding, but to reach 500 means you've extended the limiter on the graphics card to an ungodly amount and are at real risk of, at best, burning out the componants in the graphics card prematurely which will shorten the lifespan drasticly, to at worst, setting your house on fire.

oh so i should make this game have vsync on

no im not im just wondering what i should do cause u said since my game has maxed out on frame rate i dont want my card to die so fast cause of one game

it won't be just one game. you've changed the settings on the card and it will overclocking on everything.

go into the nvida graphics settings and change the overclock settings to something less insane.
