Hello TL,
I just upgraded my computer (new motherboard, new CPU, new RAM yeah !) but I noticed my game can't go any higher than 60 FPS. I get 60 FPS all the time.
please read this before answering !
- My VSync settings are off in both Starcraft II and in my Nvidia settings

- I searched in Variables.txt in case the Vsync option wasn't properly set off, but it's indeed "vsync=0"
- Tried adding the line frameratecap to any value higher than 60, it doesn't change anything.
- It's not a performance issue if I set my game from full ULTRA to full LOW settings, I still get 60 FPS... there is indeed a cap... somewhere...
- Don't turn this into a "having more than 60 FPS is useless" thread PLEASE !
Thanks you in advance for your answers !

Are you getting only 60FPS in an actual game as well? I believe the menu's are capped at 60FPS no matter what.
|
Yes I meant in game. I monitor the FPS with FRAPS and the in-game tool (CTRL ALT F).
I also tried the Windowed option instead of my current Windowed (Full Screen) setting. It doesn't help. 
Thanks for answering.

well as always, theres just one thing to say, whats the point of going higher? human eye can see only 30fps, so 60 is even double that, so you dont see any lag, and that you have more wont make you a better player or make youre game run smoother!
but if you really want to get higher, just fownload refreshlock and force youre monitor to 100khz to get 100fps!
|
It seems sc2 caps it anyway. But shouldnt really be a problem.
Do you have a 60Hz Monitor? Could be a reason for the 60fps cap.
Or do you have the same problem in other games as well?
|
S.O.U.L I won't debate with you about "human eye can only see 30 fps ! " It's so wrong. Use Google, there are a ton of good articles about this. It's off-topic.
I also don't need software to "unlock" 100 FPS. Turning VSync off does the trick for every games I have. Except Starcraft II it seems.. there's something I missed.
@Blood : Yes I have a 60 Hz monitor and don't have any issue with other games.

So i dont get why this should be a problem. Your game renders 60 Frames per second and the monitor shows 60 frames per second. Couldnt be any better....

Rename your My Documents/SC2 folder so it makes a new one, then see if it helps. If not, delete new folder and rename old one back.
|
Find the variables.txt in your documents/sc2 folder and change the lines
frameratecap=60
frameratecapglue=30
according to your desired values.
EDIT: NVM, deleting the folder will do the trick. Apparently, you don't even need these lines anymore.

You are a winner 
I tried to delete Variables.txt and it didn't work, but the whole default folder did the trick !
Thanks you everyone for your help

If your monitor is only 60 Hz, what's the point of trying to achieve a framerate above 60? It's just wasted performance on something your monitor won't display.
Also, this is the second time I've seen someone say that the human eye can't detect framerates above 30. They seem to think because movies are only 24 frames a second, that that's all the eye can see, but to any gamer, the difference between 30 and 60 is night and day. There is a limit to what the human eye can detect, but it's definitely not 30.

Even above 60 fps, the game gets smoother.
And if sync is on, in introduces mouse lag. Not good for high level gaming..

You better watch out if your monitor can handle higher fps than 60.
If you got a certain resolution, the monitor might not be able to display more than 60 fps/Hz. Unless you forces it to do so.
And then it might get broken :/

Get lost troll. Barely funny.

It really amazes me, that in 2011, people still think there's no difference between 30fps and 60fps, and even up to 100fps. Also people seem to think that if your monitor runs on 60Hz, it can't feed you with more than 60fps effectively. Get educated people... www.justfuckinggoogleit.com peace.

Uhmn....
60 hz means that the screen refreshes 60 times a sec, so it cant show more than 60 fps.
V-sync links the fps to the hz of your monitor. If you turn it off your videocard will just churn out a useless high fps and it causes texture tearing, so I dont see a reason for disabling it.

Some games mouse movement is affected by vsync.

actually i think not, cause i ahve been playing lots of games with v-sync on and off, but there was no change in how smooth the game runs and mouse movement! so theres really no point of going higher than 60 and theres no point of turning off the v-sync it wont help! cause bigger numbers dont always mean better!

Yea, some people have that problem, I never really had that problem, so I didnt really think of it.
Still I'd like to know why OP wants 60+ fps on a 60 hz monitor.
Specially since they implemented the max fps in sc2 cus the game was melting gpu's. So I dont think its wise to remove the max fps.

If you have a 60hz monitor it doesn't matter. 60hz literally means it refreshes 60 times per second, which means it can only actually show 60 frames per second.
