GTX 285 only getting max 60 fps?

[szatkowski]

I just got a EVGA GTX 285 and in every game i play i can only get a maximum of 60 frames per second. I don't know if it is the card or its settings. If you know how to fix this, please tell me.
Thank you.

A lot of games cap fps at 60.. Which games did you try?

[xtkxhom3r]

its because you have vsync enabled i would suggest you leave it enabled too.. if you get over 60fps you might get some tearing in some games...

Disable Vsync.

Also note that your monitor likely doesn't go over 60FPS, so anything over that won't be noticeable.

This is true.

But I still disagree with this.

Please read the following article from Anandtech in regards to triple buffering. And what it does:

This article explains how to enable it:

In short, vsync is useful, but enable triple buffering wherever possible for improved quality and performance. Afterall, we're gamers, and we want good performance, but bottom line it's all about quality in most games that aren't excessively competitive.

If all you want to do is brag about your max fps to your CSS buddies, be my guest and disable it.

I use 75hz V-Sync w/Triple Buffering in all of my games, I love it. :D

My TV is 100Hz, but the GTX295 only maxes out at 60Hz for 1920x1200...
Vsync sometimes hinders performance a bit, so if you drop below 60fps it might help to turn it off as sometimes it is more annoying than useful.

I can't stand tearing! For me I'd rather reduce some AA or other setting than run w/o vsync (at least in most games I've tried).

IMO tearing completely ruins the pretty graphics you are trying to display w/ the settings cranked up and destroys the immersion. Instead of aiming at the enemy or looking to the next turn I find myself staring at this line going down the screen.

That is what Triple Buffering is for. :)

lol, the human eye only see's about 30 fps anyway, so as long as your above 30, your good to go

Actually I think its more around 60, but everyone is different.

ppl still notice difference between 30 and 50 fps , at +50 it's smooth


Actually I think its more around 60, but everyone is different.

indeed , bad eyesight = no difference for many , they can't tell if a monitor runs at 65Hz , 75Hz or 85Hz , it's all the same for them

but for me 65Hz is like overdose of colors

everyones missing the point and giving this guy bad advice.

what you need to do is enable v-sync and play and disable it and play.

for alot of games the major difference is the way it FEELS not the way it looks or what you can "see"

vsync drastically changes the FEEL of movement and targeting more than anything.

so try both ways, none of the other crap really matters.

exactly. people have different taste and feel... you'll have to play around with settings to the best one that will satisfy your eyes :)

Also don't forget about the input lag Vsync gives.

Some people say they don't notice it but I can't believe how they can not. As a hardcore gamer at least, it's very noticeable to me and gimps my reflexes/aim in-game.

It has more to do with the specific title, and how it handles vsync. Doom 3 gives terrible lag on an LCD, but in Crysis, it barely even noticeable.

[jmdixon85]

Try uninstalling the driver from control panel, programs and features. Restart, Then installing the latest driver from the nvidia website.
