FPS stuck at 116 in all games?

[truebilly]

Hi guys

I just recently noticed something odd going on with my fps. Just built a new system going from x79 3820k to x99 5930k clocked at 4.5ghz. Clean install windows 7. All drivers are up to date. Power settings set to Performance mode.
Both old and new system used SLI Asus 980ti Strix on a Asus Rog Swift 144hz monitor.

When I benchmarked in Tomb Raider, my x79 system would get a minimum of 111 and easily a max of 144 while my x99 system for some reason gets a minimum of 114 and a maximum of 116. I found this really odd so i decided to run other games like Battlefield and a few others that could max my fps. Those also couldn't go beyond 115/116 fps. I even tried changing the graphics to the lowest settings and I'd get the same results. Max fps of 116.

Yes V Sync is off, G Sync is on
Monitor is set to 144hz
I believe the games I tried does not have an FPS cap as I never had to change anything on the x79 system.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks guys

check your graphics driver options, there might be a global fps limit set. If you can't find it, just do a clean install of your graphics drivers, it should get rid of all the settings.

If you use MSI afterburner there might be this framerate limit here you want to check it's in the RivaTunerStatistic window:

 

Also make sure your monitor refresh rate is set to 144hz in your nvidia control panel!

Just checked. Framelimit is 0 as well. And yes my monitor is set to 144hz ahaha. sigh wonder what the problem is.

hmm can't see anything in the global settings of nvidia control panel that would limit the fps. alright i'll give a clean install a go. thanks for the reply guys

You know what? I decided to adjust the framelimit anyways to see if it did anything. Maxed it at 200... thank the lord of heavens. My framerates are going pass 116! Changed the limit back to 0 and yes! Still hitting over 116 fps. Thank you so much! ahaha. Rivatuna was probably being screwy even though it was already set at 0 limit.

There is a hot driver fix on the nvdia website I had this problem

Install the hot fix and it goes away

Please don't overlook this because it's the answer

I always have the latest GameReady driver from nvidia experience...i do not install ''fixes'' or ''hot drivers'' manually...never had to.

Nope they are perfectly fine thanks to you. Just would like to take precautions incase it does occur again for some reason. Thank you though! you are a life saver

My drivers are always up to date and it was up to date when I had the problem. Thanks for the further information though
