144hz?

[genericwhitemale]

Why is there an option for higher than 60hz refresh rates? I thought you couldn't play this game higher than 60fps?

This is actually great news. I don't get all the hate TBH as I think it's a great remaster. :-)

Framerate is locked to 60fps no matter what, but you can unclock your refresh rate to your monitor's refresh rate, and it will run smoother. That is what this is for, not for playing the game over 60fps.

this does not make any sense, if they give you the option to choose your framerate, it shouldn't be locked at a lower framerate. this option is completely useless, i changed it to 120hz 60 or 144 hz and it looks absolutly the same and rtss still tells me 60fps. with or without Vsync... it must be bugged somehow.

They are giving the option to unlock your monitor's refresh rate, not the game's framerate.

So if you have a 144Hz monitor for example, and the game locks the monitor to 60Hz and 60fps, even a rock solid 60fps won't be super smooth, because the monitor isn't running at it's native refresh rate.

However, if you play the same game, with your monitor's refresh rate unlocked to 144 Hz, and the game locked to 60fps, it can be smoother overall.

Especially with things like Gsync and Freesync, and this helps a lot with frametimes and whatnot.

I'm very confused as well, I set it to 144hz. And it only locks to the 60fps. It doesn't make any sense!

I get 60 hz all time regardless of setting it to 120 hz or 144 hz, at least its looks smooth enough on gsync display.

the game has only 60 frames per seconds, regardless how many frames your monitor & GPU allows it

but when you enabled 144 option, the game will fill the requested frames to make it smoother,
so instead of frame 1 2 3 4 5 ---144
it will be more like 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 --- 60 60
tons smoother

it is not your setup or your monitor, it is the game doesnt have more than actual 60 frames per sec.

just like the game L.A Noire, the game has only 30 frames per second, forcing it to run more than 30 frames will create graphical distortions.

Just to clear up the misinformation here. Theres nothing meaningful about a monitor's "native refreshrate", refreshrate of a 144hz monitor can be changed to 60hz in display settings of windows, in the graphics card control panel, and sometimes on monitors themselves. The "rock solid" 60fps will look exactly the same on a "native 144hz monitor" if that monitor's refreshrate is manually set to 60hz, Dark Souls menu simply gives you the option to change monitor's refreshrate just like the other ways to do it do. Theres absolutely no point to the game including a refreshrate option higher than 60 if the rendering is locked to 60 fps because the same exact thing can be done in many other ways.
