background scrolling capped at less than 60fps?

[MrΩ]

It seems the background scrolling is not that smooth, it is even kind of stuttering. I have a 144Hz monitor, but it does not change anything at 60Hz.
My eyes are faulty?

Are any of this game animations done at 140hz? i highly doubt that basicly anything whit the exetion of maybe the hair and some other effects are not at 60hz if not even lower.

Edit-And the camera of course.

Based on my experienced, _really_ fast paced games, on desktop sized monitor with desktop view distance, need more than 60 fps (which is not true for small screen like then switch one).

What i mean is that pixel art games animations are played on a fixed fps, kinda like old games.
The FPS is normally lock and even if you unlock it only a handfull of effects (generally the camera and particle effects) will play at more than 15/24/30/44/60fps - there are other frame targets and i have no idea what most of the animations in this game are done, Highly doubt that its more than 60fps tho.

I am talking about the background scrolling only, not the other animations: when it is not "smooth", it disrupts the readability of the game significantly in fast motion.

update: ohoh! I saw the thread about the enforced 60Hz. That said, even capped at 60Hz, I still have doubt about the smoothness of the background scrolling.
For such high precision games, a good thing would be to require a 60Hz refresh rate, and do base the engine only on frame computation (just display a warning at game start if the refresh rate is not 60Hz).
