DOOM 90 fps cap?

[Paul]

Just wondering if anyone else has this issue. I have 144 Hz monitor and have turned off vsync both in game and in the Nvidia control panel. For some reason my fps is capped at 90.

then thats what ur pc can do. its uncapped.

Nah, I know my PC can go higher. It's literally completely stable at 89-90 fps with no drops. I can tell it's capped at 90 for some reason.

What do you observe when you monitor your hardware?

there is no cap in doom i can get over 100 fps in some scenes in certain levels and i have a oc gtx980

Its definitely not capped at 90. When TotalBiscuit was streaming this, his kept reverting to 60FPS cap. He fixed it by switching between window and fullscreen. A quick google found me this:

To resolve this, first of all launch the Nvidia Control Panel. Navigate top Display > Setup G-Sync. Then select the option to enable G-Sync for both – full screen and windowed modes. Next, navigate to the graphics settings and then disable V-Sync. This should remove the FPS cap.

I use AMD and haven't run into any cap issues, so maybe its a slight glitch with the nvidia software.

Yes, this is why I'm confused why mine's capped at 90 fps. I know it's capped because I lower the graphics settings or go face a corner with nothing going on and it won't budge over 90.

are you using v-sync? make sure thats off

[Paul]

Yeah, turning off vsync is one of the first things I do in every game. I have an i7-6700k oc'd to 4.6 GHz and a GTX 970.

Be sure to check your control panel. If you have it set to anything but 'let the 3D app decide', then it will override game settings.

Sorry, not sure exactly what you mean by what do I observe when I monitor my hardware. As for the vsync, I've tried both 'let the 3D app decide' and also forcing vsync off. I've also tried all the different vsync settings in Doom. Still capped at 90 fps.

You overclock and you don't monitor?

I advise you turn your overclocks off as that statement leads me to believe that you have an unstable/poor overclock (most likely not the issue here, but still an issue nonetheless).

Overclocking 101, always monitor and test clocks for stability.

You should be monitoring what is going on when you have an issue. Usages, temps, etc.

It is most likely not vsync because half refresh rate for 144Hz would not be 90.

What driver are you using for you GPU?

weird, i have a gtx970 card and have fps between 96 and 120 fps, messured by fraps.
on a 120hz monitor

[Paul]

I do monitor, but I'm not sure exactly what I would be looking for in relation to an fps cap. That's why I was confused about your question. When I'm in game, there's nothing unusual with my temps or voltages. I know it's not an issue with my hardware being maxed out because even when I turn all settings to low, the fps won't budge over 90.

That's exactly my issue. I know my hardware should easily get 100+ fps, but for some reason it's capped and I can't figure out why =\

Oh, and I'm using the latest Nvidia drivers, 365.19.
