Got the Trust. Thanks.
I'm not sure the fps indicator in the game is very accurate. I just finally upgraded my GPU after having it sit in a box for a week. I was previously running a 3930k at stock 3.2mhz with an old R9 290. I'd set the resolution down to 1680 x 1080 and all other settings on lowest to get a decent frame rate. I was getting 115 to 117 fps but it was bogging down heavily in firefights even though it still indicated the same fps. I wasn't bothered about how it looks as I used to run Q3 in picmip 9 but I value a smooth framerate. After the GPU upgrade (Vega 64 and overclocked the 3930k to 4.0mhz) on the same video settings I am getting the same 115 to 117 fps. It's strange that the maximum fps hasn't increased but everything is buttery smooth in firefights now. It's so much nicer.
I then changed the video settings to the monitors maximum resolution of 2560 x 1600 and also set all the other settings back up to ultra. It's still very, very smooth in firefights (maybe 95% as good as everything on low) but the fps is 105 to 117. But it's still very smooth and looks great.
The monitor is very old (16:10 aspect ratio) and I'm running with vsync off (no freesync or gsync on something this old).
