Uncap FPS

Is there a way?

I think you need to disable V-sync first to uncap FPS.

Check this excerpt from PCGamingWiki[www.pcgamingwiki.com] which specifies about setting the screen refresh rate to 50 Hz on top of disabling v-sync, as well as making sure that you specifically remove CPU 0 (i.e. your first CPU core) from the game process CPU affinity as this can cause issues:

• Ingame FPS Cap workaround and CPU load fix

• This is caused by 2 issues - a uneven 59fps fps cap and excessive cpu load when using Vsync

1. To fix the uneven cap. Set the refresh rate to 50hz in game instead and use the Vsync as below.
   
2. Use Nvidia's Adaptive Vsync in the Nvidia Control Panel or AMD's equivalent Dynamic Vsync. This minimises Vsync drops to 25fps
   
3. When using VSync, excessive single core use is also evident (typically 99%) with any Quad Core CPU and above. Removing the first core of your cpu availability manually using the Task Manager affinity or alternatively using utility Process Lasso to automatically remove CPU 0 access from the AC2 executable resolves this.

The affinity fix also fixes the same issue with ACB, ACR and AC3 when using VSync.

See this post for how to force your entire system screen refresh rate, in case the above method doesn't work.

See this post for how to set CPU affinity (instructions are for AC: Revelations, so adjust for the AC2 executable which is AssassinsCreedIIGame.exe

The game is capped at 62 FPS, it has nothing to do with V-Sync, otherwise forcing V-Sync off would work.

Fair enough, didn't realise. By the looks of it, don't think you can uncap it, even with editing the AssassinII.ini file in AppData.

Blur Busters[forums.blurbusters.com] has AC2 listed in their Hall of Shame.

Yep, seems to be that way. Very unfortunate.

It doesn't work well with the game, to me

Hello everyone,

I'm moving this thread to the General Discussion as it does not fall under Player Support.
