why always 60fps?

[doggystyle]

I'm playing doom eternal and steam tells me i'm getting 60 fps, it never goes a single frame higher.

I know my rig isn't the newest but to be stuck on 60 all the time seems odd.

i5 2500k
R9 380x
8gb ram.

Got Vsync enabled?

Yes.

I see you have the same cpu as me, do you feel it's still decent?

There's your answer

I never knew that, I'll take it off later.

The Radeon software is recommending an update to rx5700 and a ryzen 9.

VSync will cap your FPS to whatever your monitor is capable of and sync your monitor refresh with the FPS produced. Usually that is 60FPS.

my monitor is 144hz, its an aoc g2460.

I tried it with the vsync off and I'm still only getting 60, strange.

Check in Windows display settings that it is set to 144Hz. Also check in game settings.

It was set to 60, reset it. trying again.

That's it fixed, I'm getting in the 70s sometimes 80s playing it now.

Thanks everyone

how long have you had your monitor

Years, lol. I hardly ever play games, maybe one a year when something good comes out. I'm 50 btw.

You're certainly not the first person to get a nice 144Hz monitor and be running it at 60Hz

I wondered over the years why I never got over 60. Everything played well and looked good so I just got on with it.

On a side note I do still get the occasional bit of tearing with some games.

I think my old eyes can't tell the difference. Doom's playing great, no tearing fps around 70 -80, happy days.

For 1080p single player games with a good graphics card it’s fine.

What card have you got or what's your next card purchase?
