Maxed FPS? Please help

[steve nasty]

Hello everyone!

I've recently built a rig and in my opinion its pretty dang good. My specs include a GTX 770, and i7-4770k at 4.0 ghz. and the rest doesn't really matter for this situation. I've had the rig for about 4 months now, and consistently I've been hitting exactly 60 fps on all my games. I'm not sure how to change it to go above. I've heard its something to do with Nvidia settings. Thanks!

The question is: Do you need more than 60fps? I dont think so.

But there might be a v-sync setting in the control panel. I would actually keep adaptive v-sync enabled.

[steve nasty]

In all games disable Vsync... you won't notice any difference since that syncs. (your monitor is 60 Hz, it'll display 60 FPS everytime, even if you get 180 FPS) with your monitor if you want more buy a 120 Hz monitor

The thing is, i do. I have a 144hz moniter with a 1 millisecond refresh rate.

[steve nasty]

Set frequency in games at 144 Hz..., it might be in resolution settings.

In the individual games setting?

[steve nasty]

Set frequency in games at 144 Hz..., it might be in resolution settings.

Oh jesus, i found it in my nvidia settings at 60hz thank you so much.

[steve nasty]

Set frequency in games at 144 Hz..., it might be in resolution settings.

But it wont let me go higher than 60hz in the settings...

Are you using HDMI? Some monitors come with old HDMI inputs that don't go higher than 60. Might have to buy a display port cable or see if DVI can go higher.

I do have an HMDI hookup. This is quite disappointing, not being able to have my 144hz monitor above 60hz.

I meant in games :

 

^-This... I forgot about this

DVI-D Dual link and DP are your best friends for high refresh rates and resolutions

How do you tell whats DVI-D and what is a different kind of DVI? If such a cable exists as i dont know my monitor cables very well...

[steve nasty]

DVI-D and DVI-I actually

 

DVIs:

DVI-D fully digital

DVI-I supports analogic and digital

DVI-A only analogic (I doubt you'll have this, so I'd check if your monitor is dual link (i'm sure it'll be))

Ok, so is a DVI-I just as good as a DVI-D?

[steve nasty]

yeah, but get dual link for your purposes

I think i have one of those, brb

[steve nasty]

yeah, but get dual link for your purposes

So i had a single link, I might have to go buy one. Do you really think that will help?

[steve nasty]

Yep, DVI-D Dual link will give you AT LEAST 1080p @85Hz, And use dual link (7.4 Gbit/s), single links has half of the bandwidth (3.7 Gbit/s)

Ok. and real quick, why does everyone make HDMI out to be the best when it seems like it isnt?

[steve nasty]

Marketshare and can carry audio.

Ok. Thanks!

[steve nasty]

Marketshare and can carry audio. (DP can too)

I googled some more stuff, what about displayport? What do you prefer between DVI-D and DP? why?

[Monty007]

Display port is the next gen standard.  4K monitors require Display port connections.  Full digital and higher bandwith = higher resolution.
