High FPS doesn't feel like high FPS

[Beep or Boop]

Can't figure out if it's just because i'm getting older and my eyes are not what they used to be. But I've been playing games, in this instance Tekken 7 and the FPS counter the whole time will stick to 60 fps, but there are lot of times where it feels like 45, sometimes even lower. I feel like i'm going crazy because the number is always 60, but the gameplay feels otherwise. Am I going crazy? Or could it be my system?

the game could be displaying at 60fps and running slowly

if you set it to window mode , and make the resolution real small , does it feel like it runs normally in terms of speed?

 What is your monitor resolution and refresh rate? In the windows settings do you have your refresh rate set the correct amount to match your monitor?

If you got a 60hz monitor it would make sense.

What kind of monitors we running?

The monitor the game is running on is 2560 x 1440 running 144hz

Ok, and is your refresh rate still set to 60hz in Windows? Even with a 144hz monitor you need to manually set your refresh rate to 144hz to match your monitor. If you never did that it's most likely still set at 60hz.

It's 144hz.

You have Vsync enable / Disabled? 

Does the game have a frame cap setting?

 

Also, some games are intended to run at a set FPS for performance. 
Not familiar with Tekken 7.

 

But I am assuming you're not getting tearing / thermal throttling? 

You have a 2nd monitor to run HW Info  on to see whats going on under the hood while gaming?

did you check if making the window smaller effects how the games perceived speed is

Sorry for the late response. No VSync and no frame cap setting, just stuck at 60 from the game. But it just doesn't feel like a smooth 60 all the time. Sometimes it feels smooth and other times it doesn't. As for the thermals, i'm running mostly under 75 degrees, sometimes cpu hits 80.

No I haven't yet. I'll give it a shot.

I recently unknowingly fixed this issue where I turned off overdrive on my monitor and everything started to look buttery smooth as if I was playing on 60 fps this entire time on my 360hz monitor.

The only thing I see in my monitors settings is "response time". It has Off/Normal/Fast/Faster and it's set on Fast atm

This could be the normal term for ASUS “overdrive” try the off option I guess.

Yeah. I did a little more research and found this, guess it doesn't help with FPS really.

Could you do a direct video capture of gameplay, so that we can also see this inconsistency in perceived frame rate?

I'll do that tomorrow and give an update.

Great. Try to use Rivatuner statistic on the screen, so that we can also see FPS counter, timings and overall PC performances/temps.
