Can anyone help me understand the following please -
I fitted a 970 and I'm running everything on Ultra with 2 x MSAA @ 1080
It ran like a dog at first but by coincidence the patch defaulted the FOV back to 50 so I upped it to 90 and now it runs super smooth, I noticed my FPS goes above 120 quite often and I have a 120hz monitor
based on that, 2 questions -
Why does the FOV being increased make the game run smoother, if I would have guessed on any effect at all I would have thought it would have made it less smooth as its displaying more?
Why when my FPS goes above 120 why do I not experience any negative stuff like screen tearing seeing as though my monitor is 120hz?
Thanks
