I seen no discernible difference in this game either, only when walking does it become obvious to me.

That is the difference between 60FPS and 120+. It's more smooth.

You say this as if I've never seen it, I said I did, so this just comes off as condescending to me but thats just the vibe I'm getting from the rest of this thread so I'm not reading into it too much. Perhaps its not as big of an issue for me. I can never go back to 60Hz for my racing games, but having gone back to 60Hz recently due to a faulty monitor the difference is night and day, yet I notice no difference in PCBS other than when walking around but then again its never been the smoothest experience to begin with even with my specs.

So, if the OP does have a monitor that can do more than 60FPS, I said get Riva Tuner to unlock the frames. How is that not trying help??

If they had a monitor that could do more than 60hz then it would already be doing it when they enabled vsync. Rivatuner, or any other software program is not going to fix this.

You've been nothing but condescending, rude, and abrasive to everyone in this thread. Is that why you're posting here? Just to upset everyone? Is that your goal?

I was not being hostile towards you, I'm sorry if it came off that way. Aquafux on the other hand can go lick a butt hole.

The thing you're missing is, you have to tell windows that you have a 120+Mhz monitor or it will just act as a 60MHz. If the OP just has a 60MHz monitor then, yes, what I said won't help, but none of us know for sure because the OP hasn't told us what he/she has.

This game ran at 60 FPS for me when I first ran it, until I set it to 144 in Riva Tuner.

I think perhaps you may actually not realize that windows has a built in ability to set refresh rate directly without using a 3rd party program. Here's a guide for you: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-monitor-refresh-rate-windows-10

Once this is set then all games will detect your monitor and you change the setting in-game and it will "Just work".

EDIT: By the way... I went to look: http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=163

The latest public build of RivaTuner was posted in 2009.. and only supported up to Windows Vista. It doesn't even support Windows 7, 8, 8.1, or 10. Why are you even mentioning RivaTuner?

[F*cky The Drunk-Clown]

LOL Riva tuner is on version 7.2.2.20238. So again, you have no clue what you're talking about.

[Jacknm2]

RivaTuner is bundled with MSI Afterburner now and a requisite if you want a stable in game overlay to work.

I can confirm that it is as the above build as I am using it.

However, I think we should end this here until we get a more civil and productive discussion going, I'm no moderator so you can do what you like really lol but come guys, we've all been on these forums a long time. lets just let this one flow under the bridge and move on.

Edit: No problem FtDC - I understand people can misinterpret things the wrong way a lot of forums and I've done this myself a few times which is why I try to take everything at face value on here now until its obvious what tone the message is.

That is "RivaTuner Statistics Server", -NOT- RivaTuner it's self. That only shows you the on screen overlay in your games. That's a different program entirely than the actual "RivaTuner" tweaking and tuning utility. You specifically said RivaTuner, you did not say RivaTuner Statistics Server. I am curious though. Could you please explain to us how to modify the "FPS Cap" in a game with RivaTuner Statistics Server? I didn't know this program could do that. You stated on the first page that we can use "RivaTuner" (which we now know you were referring to RivaTuner Statistics Server) to change the "60 FPS cap" in PCBS. But I can't find anything on google of any reference to how to do this.

Also if (according to you) PCBS does have a 60 FPS cap, then how do you explain me and others getting 120 FPS in the game without ever touching RivaTuner Statistics Server? I don't even have it installed with MSI Afterburner myself because I don't need nor want the overlay. I have 3 screens and I just use the MSI Afterburner detachable hardware monitor graphs on another screen instead.

Some call it Rivatuner, some RTSS, some (like me on 1st page) MSI Afterburner. It is from old days.
Anyhow, it is now part of MSI Afterburner and it is not just for showing overlay, and overlay does not have to be ON.

Here is how you can cap FPS in any game with RTSS:

Ah. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something entirely here. But It read like our resident drunk clown was trying to tell the OP to use RTSS/RivaTuner to some how "Remove" some FPS cap for PCBS. That's the confusing part because PCBS doesn't have any form of FPS limitation built in to it. If anyone (OP in this thread) is having any sort of FPS limitation then it's elsewhere. Perhaps windows refresh rate setting. Perhaps their monitor is 60 Hz. Something else other than PCBS it's self. So I don't understand what using RTSS/RivaTuner would do to help anything in this situation. It looks like with RTSS/RivaTuner that one would have to manually create a profile for the game to create an FPS limit for it. I don't think RTSS it's self is just going to randomly limit games to 60 FPS.. or does it? I honestly never use it. It's an optional component when we install MSI AfterBurner and not necessary.

Yes I have a 60hz monitor but now i get a cap of 122 fps, its actually playable now

[Jacknm2]

If you have a 60Hz monitor you wouldn't notice any difference above 60 FPS the only difference I may see possible are the FPS low's but if you System is capable of handling 122FPS at your resolution then it should be more than capable of maintaining 60 FPS without stuttering.

Just thought I'd point that out. But yea thread ended lol.

That's actually a rather bad thing and you actually don't want to run with FPS above your monitor's refresh rate.. ever. It makes your video card render extra frames your screen can't display. That will lead to your video card running really hot (Espically in PCBS), the video card's fans being loud for no reason and visual "Tearing" when you walk around. If you have a 60 Hz screen then I would strongly suggest you keep vsync on for the best gaming experience. You don't gain anything at all running with 120 FPS on a 60hz monitor. Your monitor can't display the extra frames. You need a 120hz screen to benefit from 120 FPS.
