GTA locked at 72 FPS when I start playing

[Prime]

Hello. I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. When I load into the actual game, I'm locked at 72 FPS (I have a 144Hz monitor) and to fix this, I just change the refresh rate in game to 120Hz, then turn it back up to 144Hz, and then everything is fine. Not a major issue, but a minor annoyance. Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone possibly have a fix?

When I could be getting more, it isn't..

It's because you have half V-sync on :)
It halves your refresh rate so a 144Hz monitor goes to 72 FPS and a 60Hz goes to 30 FPS.

I thought it might've been that, but I loaded in JUST now, and V-Sync was just set to 'On', but I was still locked at 72 FPS. I turned half V-Sync on, and then back to 'On' and it unlocked again, just like with the refresh rate.

is there a way to check fps in gta? im curious how much i get too

[ZOMBIEKORE]

Check that its not set in Nvidia Control Panel if you own Nvidia card, happens with mine on some games, I've had to set it to gta and witcher to off instead of adaptive

You can turn it on in the Steam overlay. Just clock on settings, then 'In-game' and you can enable the FPS counter.

no. half v sync causes 72 fps. not on vsync

What's even funnier, is people like you that still think that... Educate yourself.
I tend to notice the people that say that, never gamed on a monitor over 60Hz.

Not only did you contribute to reviving my 5+ year old post, you had the audacity to contribute by saying some stupid sh*t like that. But I digress

I remember reading that the highest fps someone was able to see was like over 200 fps. I'm not sure about the exact number. It was like he was able to notice a single image out of 200 frames or something like that. I think it was military trained pilots that could distinguish a single frame in over 200 fps.

Normally most people agree that beyond 150fps you don't notice any difference anymore. I would like to think that this is probably true for most people. It also very much depends how much fps you are used to watch.

I used to play on a crappy laptop with 30 or less fps and I thought it's fluent and that past 60 fps there would be no way of seeing a difference or even past 40fps. But now I'm much more used to higher fps and I can easily tell the difference between 60fps and 80fps or 120fps and 90fps. But personally I don't see much difference after 120fps. Like I see the difference between 120 and 90fps but, no difference between 120 and 144 fps.

Also some people are trying to use youtube to see a difference, but youtube doesn't play at more than 60fps, regardless of your screens refresh rate or what the title of the video says. At least I think so, unless this changed at some point, haven't checked in a while.

Turn v-sync off, if you really think you need more than 72 fps.
But unless you're one of these hardcore wannabe PvP tryhards it's clueless.
I'd rather prefer a lower but stable fps than my fps jumping between 60 and 140 fps continiously
