I have a 144Hz screen and all settings is done in Nvida settings program. There is no setting for it in the game, as far as I can see. How do you see that the game is running at 60HZ??? I cant.

I use Steams FPS counter. Depending on some texture settings, the game runs just above 100 FPS. I can get more with lowering some settings, but it work fine for me.

the game itself is hardcoded around 60fps look it up if the games run higher then that the game starts running faster the animations speed up the movement speed up and everything goes out of sync

thats very strange, i dont remenber this 60 fps cap and things going crazy above it, in fact if i dont vsync i go above 100 easy and my gpu start making noise, my monitor is 144hz too and i use nvidia adaptive vsync and the game run just perfect with 72 fps all the time

See other answers for setting screen refresrate to 144Hz. The refresrate is not the same as FPS.

The in-game Vsync is 60 fps. Disable it and enable via GPU control panel instead?

On a sidenote, I don't remember any problems from running +100 fps.

MIne runs at above 100 fps. Just disable vsync

Enable vsync for no tearing and IQ loss. also the game support 144 hz and above just use in your nvidia control panel your refresh rates monitor and the problem is solved.

Metro redux series on 60 hz [60 fps] plays like garbage.

Mr. D4rKy, I approve of your comment regarding IQ loss.

I sometimes find that I have to deliberately ingest substances to relate to denizens online, due to aforementioned losses. It can be challenging to relate to others.

*I was deliberately unclear as to the direction of said IQ change via ingestion of suggested substances. Absinthe makes you crazy but they didn't say anything about...hey what were we talking about again. This makes me feel like the purple tentacle!


But uh I'll be honest. I have a 60hz screen and it seems to play just fine. I guess the problem is more related to people with higher end toys than me. Then again, naybe drain bamage has helped in that regard.

Pure and Rustic, I concur that the steam fps counter is not the monitor refresh rate, and the fps counter may match the refresh rate, or it may be entirely totally different.

I could imagine that a high end monitor with a high refresh rate playing a game totally unable to push a even ratio of frames per second to match the monitor, could result in gamer complaints. It is hard to find a video card that can push 144fps at a decent resolution. Or 72fps at a decent resolution to at least intersect that refresh rate at a divisible number.

are you insane, plenty of gpus out there can get you 144fps in plenty of games

My benchmark for LL-Redux:
Test 1:
Options: Resolution: 1920 x 1080; Quality: Very High; SSAA: On; Texture filtering: AF 4X; Motion Blur: Off; Tesselation: Normal; VSync: Off; Advanced PhysX: On;
Average Framerate: 83.00 •Max. Framerate: 195.47 •Min. Framerate: 17.69
Test 2:
Options: Resolution: 1920 x 1080; Quality: Very High; SSAA: On; Texture filtering: AF 16X; Motion Blur: Normal; Tesselation: Off; VSync: Off; Advanced PhysX: On;
Average Framerate: 91.00 •Max. Framerate: 219.64 •Min. Framerate: 12.36
I use test 1, but I can get a higher average FPS by changing some of the texture settings.
I find that this is what gives me the best visual gameplay.

So, SeriousCCIE, my FPS is not the same as the refresh rate. This is not COD MW2-MP (and others too) were you cant get higher FPS then 90. Its locked in the game.

My monitor is set to 144Hz, in GPU controlpanel.

The ingame V-Sync option has an hardcoded 60 FPS lock to it, you need to disable it and enable V-Sync through Nvidia's control panel. That's what I do to achieve 75 Hz with V-Sync enabled.
If you have a 144Hz screen though I'd recommend 120Hz + V-Sync or 120 FPS lock with RTSS with G-Sync, because they are some animations and effects hardcoded at 30 or 60 FPS, so that it scales right.

The game plays 144fps no problem. I5 @ 4.5GHz and GTX1080 + 16Gb Ram. Its all about NVidia Control Panel settings....

Hate to tag on a necro, but I recently got a 144hz gsync and I'm often at 90-100fps with vsync off. No issues.

Don't use vsync in game if you want > 60 fps. If you want to limit FPS without using vsync, use Riva Tuner Statistics Server.

I had a gsync issue when messing with settings where I was stuck at 60hz in fullscreen apps no matter what I did to undo my changes, clean installing my drivers fixed the gsync issue now getting ~75fps at 1440p.

Yeah and I wanted to say I am not insane because I have two 4k monitors and while this game does go over 144fps regularly enough, I am playing at 2560x1440 to get that.

no one mentioned 1920x1080 so I mistakenly assumed people were using 2560x1440 or higher since that's all I got. and I've never even had a 1920x1080; i thought those were HD TVs or something.

my next monitor down is 1920x1200 and is like 12 years old; my commodore 64 is on it since my last 1680x1050 fried. that 1920x1200 even has RCA and super video inputs, picture in picture, etc. weird that monitors regressed to 1920x1080 but I guess tvs are cheaper so they reused the screens?

sounds like I mis applied my first world problems to the wrong crowd.
