How do I 60fps?

[☠djb204☠]

I can run this game on ultra fine, but it doesn't look like 60fps. I've seen 60fps games and they are super smooth. What am I missing?

FPS is totally based on your PC specs, especially your GPU. Do you even know what your FPS are when you have your graphics settings on ultra? Usually the only way to incrtease FPS is to lower your Graphics settings.

I do customize my graphic settings to smooth things out. I was just wondering if there was anyway to set a target FPS.

Probably if it is lower than what your GPU is capable of. This would be done in your Nvidia control panel, or Radeon Crimson software.

Force disable vsync in your graphics card settings. vsync never lets a game go above 20-30 fps at most. I get 20-30 in any game with it on. Turn it off and I get 100-200+ fps. And i have a low end system. I can only imagine what someone with an actual gaming system could get.

Wow thanks, I didn't know about this.

Neither did I. I was live streaming my new ROG Strix 1080 GPU and some of my viewers told me to disable vsync. once I did ... by the gods I never knew FPS like that could exist LOL. I always thought people claiming those numbers on some of the gaming forums were just trolling until i did that.

Just beware, though, as depending on your system, doing this can create "tearing" in your graphics, which is exactly what vsync is there to prevent.

I'll have to try that and see if it helps me. I only get a lovely 25 fps.

Vsync locks the game to the refresh rate of your monitor to synchronize the frame rate of the game with the monitor refresh rate which is most likely 60Hz for most players. Turning off Vsync won't gain you any FPS if you are already struggling to maintain 60 FPS.

Gotta agree with this. Turning Vsync off did squat for fps, lol. I might have gained maybe 4 fps ,bug not some big difference.

Turning down resolution helps a lot

i7 6700k r9 390x, everything medium, scene complexity, textures, tesselation and water high, fog off, best AA setting with no ssao, global illumination on, Anisotropic 8x 60fps with drops in places, i can pull ultra with about 30-60fps, some parts of the game kill fps others run fine

I've had weird issues with the in-game v-sync. Usually when it is enabled, I will get dips to 56-57 quite a fair bit. But If I force V-sync in the Nvidia Control Panel (Default "on" or "Fast"), It will stay at a steady 60 with the odd dip to 58-59.

Though I tend to use Nvidias v-sync over most games own. I've just had better performance (Also looking at you Ghost Recon Wildlands!).

Nothing busted, really. If it did squat for you then your gaming setup just isn;t meant to take that sort of FPS in the first place. As i stated, on my setup, vsyn = 20 FPS. No vsync = 100-200+ FPS. And again I do not even have a high end system. My gear is mid grade at best (my motherboard is 12+ years old).

So the whole vsync bit - as I stated originally - depends on your hardware as well (not sure why everyone chose to ignore that part ... ah .. .that's right ... convenience in reading).
