fps locked at 60

[Den]

Man i'm stuck my aq2 is doing weird.

My fps are locked at 60 no matter what i do. I used driver cleaner, no go, downloaded latest nvidia driver, no go, downloaded modified guru3d drivers, no go, used coolbits to override refresh rates, no go, tried refreshlook, no go, tried other refreshrate lock tools, no go...

When i start apr the console says:

To me this looks okay?

...using display frequency 75

75hz = 75fps

So i dont know why its locking me at 60fps. Last thing i'll be trying is to download new omega drivers and hopefully that will work or else i'll have to do a windows reinstall. HELP!!!

And no i wont turn off vsync because tearing sucks.

I'm not an expert at this, but this helped me:

gl_finish "1"
gl_swapinterval "0"

I don't know if this is vsync or anything, but as I said, this is what helped me.

Search function is there for a reason! And try turning vsync off!

You do know its me right?

[dudemcpek]

Orly?

i was under the impression that vsync means vertical sync, meaninig that with it turned on, the whatever tries to sync the game or whatever to the vertical refresh rate of your monitor, so maybe you could try buying some hardcore monitor with higher vertical refresh? :P

[Den]

Come on... ofc my monitor can go higher than 60hz if it couldnt i wouldnt have bothered posting here.

and i reinstalled my windows (needed to do it anyway) and still same problem, tried older nvidia drivers same problem. I dont know what to do anymore.

[Den]

As you can see on the screenshot below. Apr says its 60fps but fraps says its 75fps. I also tried r1q2 but same problem and i tried it without using any config.




i installed that aq2install thing and same problem there and for some reason my quake2 'feels' to play faster than normal? The weapon 'idle' animation is going fast too.

[Den]

I tried another thing: changed refreshrate with that override tool to 85 and to 56 but my q2 still displays: "...using display frequency 75"

[Den]

Somehow, its fixed now :s very weird.
