Hello, I've been searching for a solution to this problem for a while and I need some help =)

As the title says I'm using a 270X gpu which is connected through HDMI to an IPS monitor that has 60hz refresh rate..

I would really like some info on whether the hdmi cannot transfer higher than 60hz or something else ?

I went to the catalyst settings and turned off v-sync.. nothing happened still being capped at 60 ( tried different games )

I don't mind being capped at 60 fps its just that I have dips to the 40s (Skyrim without mods)

I got the card since I saw benchmarks saying it can average over 75 frames on ultra in skyrim..

Now what I'd like to know is.. If I change to a dvi cable will I get higher frame rate ? ( yes I know my monitor can only display 60 fps )


PS. 60 FPS stays the same either low settings or ultra.. nothing changes.. just the dips.

I understand and I absolutely have no problem with that.. Its just that I want to see the max my graphics card can do..

I want Fraps fps count to go higher than the 60 cap ..

So now the graphics card is not the problem right ?

 
Hi ThunderQ8,
First 60hz refresh rate is for monitor or TV, refresh rate specifications do not apply to HDMI cables.

2nd, only the hdmi2.0 can support 4K resolution at 60 frames per second (fps). http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_2_0/index.aspx

And HDMI is DVI with the addition of:
•Audio (up to 8-channels uncompressed)
•Smaller Connector
•Support for YUV Color Space
•CEC (Consumer Electronics Control)
•CEA-861B InfoFrames
http://www.hdmi.org/learningcenter/faq.aspx#83

So you can't get more than 60fps and high than 60hz refresh rate on your PC with that monitor in the real world, but may in benchmark.

I'm using a 24EA53 LG monitor ( 60 hz ) connected by HDMI cable

the problem is that skyrim is capped at 60 and people who are using the same card are getting over 75

I just tried bf3 and on ultra its 60+ on low its 75+

I cant figure out the problem !
