Refresh Rate (solved)

Now that it's possible to have unlimited FPS i would like to change the monitor refresh rate from 60hz to 144hz? Is it possible at all?

yeah would be fine, if we get this setting too.
my 144hz monitor only runs @ 60hz...

I guess you could use windowed mode to run 144hz? not sure since i dont own one myself, so i cant test it.

There is no in-game setting to set refresh rate. My monitor uses G-Sync and is able to go above 60fps. Not sure what would be restricting yours from doing the same.

Refresh rate is defaulted at 60hz, other games allow me to select 144hz since my monitor supports it.

Yep it works, would be nice to have 144 in real full screen though.

Same problem.

I solved this by specifying refresh rate setting in Nvidia Control Panel for mafia3.exe.

got to say this seems an odd one, as soon as they patched in 60 / 120 / unlimited options i just set it to unlimited and had no more restrictions, did you not patch it ?

just noticed you dont even have the game it seems.

I uninstalled it earlier, the exe still remains in NCP.
The fps setting in-game has nothing to do with initial refresh rate of the monitor when game starts, usually games use the highest available HZ-rate, except Mafia, which has it default at 60hz.

as i said, it seems odd, i have an asus rog swift, which is a 144hz monitor, and as long as i have the monitor physically switched to 144hz mode i never had anything less available outside of fps locks, such as the 30fps lock mafiua 3 had initally.

also uninstalling the game doesnt remove the owned game symbol, plus its not in your recently played list, or owned game list, but never mind :)

Yeah, I stick to buying games after the problems get fixed, ya know, yarr maty. My purchase history reflects this.

You do know that FPS isn't refresh rate right? This might better explain it with pictures. The refresh rate NOT FPS gets high-jacked by the game and forced to 60Hz. This has been happening to a lot of new games recently. Some get fixed, console ports are iffy.

Are you using Nvidia or AMD by the way?

im on nvidia with gsync, and mine doesnt get swapped, and as its gsync, the fps matches the refresh, so in my case, and that of gsync, the fps kind of does equal the refresh.

Yeah buy a Titan and gsync craps for that funny bugs sim.. hahahaha! Sry but As far as I can remember, we dont need much more than vsync on all good games..
I think it's drivers related + bad forced sync ingame. Just my opinion.
Nv BOOST..

I'm thinking the Nvidia solution brought up is a pretty solid choice if you have that ability. This is a workaround that shouldn't be needed in the first place and doesn't help AMD users unfortunately.

FPS output can be 1000 but if the screen is set to 60Hz, it will only display 60 FPS(with a fcked up amount of tearing), thus it's not helping anyone barring some input lag improvements.
