60+ FPS?

[REMi]

Q: Obligatory thread for people with 120/144hz displays. Can we play this game with no fps cap?

A: Yes, 144 fps supported.

[Grimscribe]

Nobody's asking "will framerates above 60 benefit this game as much as they will 3D games?" nobody's asking "is a 144hz monitor worth the money?" The question posed by this thread is simply "is Cuphead capable of running at framerates above 60." So all these opinions (mostly uninformed ones) about whether or not 61+ fps is "good" are completely irrelevant. People just want to know if Cuphead can run at higher framerates, that's all.

cuphead can run at high framerates no problem (movement, action response, etc.). the actual animation of the characters is a lower framerate though, probably 24 fps.

Thx i was looking for this. Purchased.

Thanks for save me some words. This is a common problem in steam forums. I don't even waste my time reading these comments.

Nice!

Given that nobody ACTUALLY ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION

yes.

I have a asus vg248qe 144hz panel. It is kinda strange, if not using vsync it is capped at 60. If you turn ON vsync it goes to 144hz. I think it is a bug, but not a big deal since vsync is very important for this title to prevent screen tearing with all the animation.

Default behavior for Unity games, thx for make it clear.

Just enable vsync. Strangely enough, the fps stays in 144.

[imJGott]

im playing the game at a locked 144fps with vsync enabled. and its is a true 144fps feel as well

144hz = 144fps.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ there are a lot of people in here who have no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clue what they're talking about
To answer the question, yes, you can run the game at any frame rate, there is no cap.


To everyone else saying stupid ♥♥♥♥ like "2D games don't need to be more than 30fps" or "the human eye can't see above 15 frames per second" or "The animations are drawn at 30fps", you're all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ morons.

Whether the game is 2D or 3D is completely irrelevant. A higher frame rate makes the gameplay smoother and improves reaction time, regardless of what dimension the game is in. Suggesting otherwise is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid.

The human eye doesn't see in frames, what you mean to say is "the human eye can't notice an increase in frame rate above 30" (or 15, or 60, or what ever arbitrary number you pulled out of your ass ), and even if you'd said that, you'd still be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wrong. People can very easily notice increases in frame rate all the way up to 300-400fps. Going from 60 to 144 is very noticeable, especially in a fast-paced action platformer like Cuphead. Even above that, people with the eye for it can notice increases in fps much higher than 400.

The fact that some of you think the frame rate of the animations is relevant to the frame rate of the game just goes to show how completely and utterly ignorant you are when it comes to what a frame rate even is.
Of course an increase in fps isn't going to make the sprite animations any smoother. That's not the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ point. No one gives a ♥♥♥♥ about the animations when it comes to framerate, what matters is how smooth the movement is. The MOVEMENT of sprites is completely independent to the ANIMATION of sprites. It doesn't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ matter how many frames of animation there are, the movement can always be smoother.

Even in a turn based game, where the frame rate doesn't effect game play, a higher frame rate is still going to look nicer.

I'm so sick of seeing uninformed idiots trying to defend games with fps caps, just because they don't understand what a frame rate is and how it effects gameplay.

If you disagree with any of this, you're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid and you don't know what you're talking about. Don't bother responding, you're clearly uninformed and your opinion on the topic is irrelevant.

144hz = 144fps.

My monitor runs at 144hz but the game runs only at 60fps, how the owner of that screens runs at 144fps???

turn vsync on

[nickwithtea]

My game is running at 120hz, 120 fps, v-sync off
(I force globally through nvidia control panel that all games use highest refresh rate)
