How do i allow my FPS to go above 60?

I finally got a beter pc so i would like to check the difference in FPS.

I heard this was called "overclocking" or something but i'm not sure. I didn't find anything when i was searching.

Confused

DirectX its limit is 60 FPS i thought, unless youre talking refreshrate wich u can make whatever youre monitor can handle. I dont think there is any diffrence.
Anyways there should be this option V-sync somewhere to get it higher.

Oh and as for the FPS, You will notice the diffrence by joining a large server (50 players) where your old pc would probly take a 5 fps, youre new one will get above 20 for sure.

DirectX isn't causing any FPS limits, nor does it limit your screen refresh rate.

Your monitor refreshes the images on the screen most of the times, with 60 hz. So basicly they limit the FPS to 60, because why send more data then can be displayed anyway. There are functions altough to stop te limit.


Size doesn't matter.

When i increase the refresh rate the screen get's all blurry...

But anyway, the highest FPS i ever got was 75 on menu with the old pc(low settings). Now it stays constant 60 on highest settings in-game.

So i think i already have my difference check... Surprised

turn off Vsync in your graphics card's properties.

Don't. If you get a steady 60 FPS on any game just leave it as it is. It's not as if you'll notice it anyway. 60 FPS will look and feel the same as 120.

Turning vsync off can cause funny effects.

I don't have problems w/ vsync off & typically run fps in 130 to 250 range on high detail & 1280x960 resolution in Renegade. Does it really make a difference above 75? I honestly cant tell...however, at the moments when your character is amidst a roasty flame tank rush & most others are below 10fps - that's when it does have use.

It really wouldn't matter. Let's say you have 150 FPS when the game is playing normally with vertical sync off. Let's also say that when there is a huge flame rush your FPS drops to 40. Now, if you had vertical sync on and you were getting a constant 60 FPS, the same huge flame rush would drop your FPS to 40 also. It doesn't matter, all vertical sync does is limit your FPS to your monitor's refresh rate.
