Vsync caps fps to 60 on 144hz screen

[overdev]

like the title says, the game limits the FPS to 60 with my 144hz display.
every other game doesn't do that.
I need to Vsync off in order to get the FPS limit to the frequency of my monitor which is pretty weird.

I still get screen tearing with stable 144 fps.

Still doing it and it's annoying!

Hi,

= ingame Vsync OFF and in GPU Driver Vsync ON = Have fun with 144 fps glory without tearing :)

Cheers,

Ingame Vsync off and GPU Driver Vsync off. There fixed it for ya.

With my gpu, it would generate way too much frames for no reason haha

You can still limit frames without vsync.

Not to my refresh rate via the game.

hey buddy, did you miss what post you're at right now? this is not the "down with Vsync!" post you think it is. he's explicitly asking how to limit his frames, and you have helped precisely 0 people by telling this guy to turn his Vsync off and to enjoy the tearing he has an issue with

anyways vsync lowers your frames thus causing tearing. turn vsync off and you now have 150fps so no chance of tearing. your screen tears because your PC not strong enough handle frames. this is why console invented vsync to limit crapy hardware to 30 fps. but if you unlock fps like the playstation 2 then you don't have tearing issues. lol it's a paradox do you know what that means?

no vsync was invented so there arent tears, 150 fps will still cause screen tearing on a 144 hz display cause the fps does not match the Hertz of the display

also a proper vsync implementation should be the bare minimum since decades but it simply doesnt work in this game to begin with. it doesnt even "limit" the fps.

It's impossible to get tearing with 150fps on 144hz monitor. You only get tearing when you don;t have enough frames to match refresh rate.

that doesnt make any sense, yes the monitor cant display more FPS than its refresh rate but there will be always be screen tearing if the FPS is not equal or multiple times the refresh rate, for example for a 60hz monitor it needs to be at 60 or 120 FPS.
maybe in some games it's less noticable with higher FPS but it's still there trust me.

there are so many threads online about this. thats just how FPS and Hertz work for PCs.
or how would you explain that a monitor can display 150 frames per second if the PC forces it to the monitor and it only can display 144?
what about the remaining 6 frames?
if it's displayed in the FPS counter, the monitor will get it.

"fps and Hz don't matter for screen tearing. You get screen tearing ALWAYS, when fps from the GPU is not synced with the Hz of the monitor. No matter how much fps you have, you WILL have screen tearing.

Even if you have 144 fps with a limited on 144 hz, you CAN have screen tearing. The Monitor refresh CAN happen between 2 frames from the GPU, the Tear will be at the same position then.

So in short: When not using any sync technology (V-Sync, Fast Sync, G-Sync) you WILL get tearing. The other questions are: Do you notice it, is the Game engine sensible for that, etc etc.

If you game at 110-130 fps on a 144 Hz monitor, and you don't notice any tearing, then you don't have any problem. Simple as that ^^"

I like how this guy put it. There's always tearing it's just whether it's noticeable or not. Thus we are both arguing the wrong thing.

I don't care at all about tearing, I only care if I notice it. I think the main argument is forcing Vysnc robs PC power thus making the game run in even lower frames which make the tearing more noticeable.

Minecraft runs at like 500fps but my monitor only 144hz with no vsync and you don't notice any tearing even though it's tearing.

So graphics, engine and tech are more important than worthless sync option. That's why I brought up the PS2. Those old TV's were like 30hz but the ps2 games ran at over 100fps with no sync and no noticeable tearing. Idk
