Current specs:

Gigabyte GTX 780
Core i5 4670k
Asus z87-pro v edition
G skill x series 8gb (2x4gb) 1866
corsair cx750wm psu

In games like BF4 I average about 85 fps, can go down to 70 and up to 110 at max settings. In sleeping dogs my fps seems to be locked at 60 and can go down to about 45 fps on HIGH settings. Why is this? I checked everything there is to check to see if somewhere I locked the fps to 60, to no avail.

what do you mean by "you are rapidly dropping under your monitors refresh rate?

it is up to you but there is really is no need to run that high of frame rate.

you might find it runs better overall if that was the games setting by default

it should be disabled on the game level and not the driver level as it is its normal functionality in both nvidia and amd gpu's

what video card do you have?
