Doom locked at 60FPS

Legend · 25 Oct 2016 at 23:15

I know what you will say, turn off V-Sync... well I've done that, in both Nvidia Control Panel and in game, yet it is not budging past 60FPS. Is this a Windows 10 thing or something? I had it running in Windows 8.1 a while ago and it was happily giving my 90-100FPS (I have Acer X34 monitor). What's going on here??

Had unlocked frame rate here on Windows 10.. Doesn't Doom lock to refresh rate? I thought it would only allow higher frame rates on higher refresh rate monitors?
What refresh is your monitor?

My monitor is 100Hz.

And is your desktop set to 100hz?

shankly1985 · 25 Oct 2016 at 23:29

Honestly not sure than man. Strange bug.

Edit
GOOGLE search tells me loads people have this.

Yeah you shouldnt have to turn off vsync, i would check the game settings and make sure its not setting 60hz, i know a lot of games do have that option.

Legend · 25 Oct 2016 at 23:32

Yes, desktop is set to 100Hz... plays other games fine. Really can't get my head around this!! There appears to be no setting for Hz in the Doom settings menu, although I vaguely remember there used to be?? Or am I imagining things?

One guy says he had to disable his second monitor as it was using that refresh rate from windows rather than his main screen, might be worth a shot if your using multiple screens. Maybe also try borderless window mode if thats an option.

I have only one monitor and I've tried borderless and windowed with no luck. This is madness.

Seriously though, seems to be a common problem

nvidia control panel has a thing for setting hz, not just vsync
maybe that?

First thing I did. Emailed Bethesda, they replied suggesting it's a performance issue, which it blatantly is not!

Are you running borederless window? Even if your refresh rate is set to 100hz it could be derping out. Try it fullscreen if you haven't already.

No I am not... double checked this in the menu, definitely fullscreen.

You tried the usual alt + enter a few times while in game?

Jeps · 26 Oct 2016 at 12:25

Doom locks to your desktop refresh rate for some reason so check that.

Zeebedy · 26 Oct 2016 at 12:26

That's the one thing I haven't tried, but I can't see it will make a difference. As Rip says, I have seen a few people say the same... were previously getting well over 60FPS, then suddenly it's locked at 60. Very very strange. My desktop res is definitely not 60Hz... I've set in Nvidia control panel, and tried everything between 80-100Hz.

I'm playing at between 90-100 frames a second so it can work. I'm using a 120Mhz monitor and ATI 290.

It's locked at 60fps for loading screens though but in game is fine. This is on Windows 10.

And you're on Win 10? It was running at 90+ FPS in Win 8.1 for me. It's only since moving to Win 10 I've had this issue. Bethesda are in communication with me anyway... they've requested my dxdiag and msinfo32 files, but I don't know what that will tell them. I simply can't figure it out... every other game I have runs fine up to 100FPS.
