only 60 fps in games!

scottydot123 · Aug 15, 2014

hi guys

i have recently purchased the msi 770 and i was playing minecraft and the fps only went up to 60 in game and on fraps. So i tried a different game still only goes up to 60 in game and fraps. I have been looking around and some people say turn off v-sync which i in game and on nvidia control panel; still no difference in fps! second they say "you can't go over 60 fps because your moniter is 60HZ" isn't that a completly different thing but if that is true how come i have seen someone get 200+ fps,is there is no such thing as a 200HZ moniter.Anyway please ask for more details pc specs below thanks.

PC Specs
Gpu: Nvidia geforce gtx msi 770 OC edtion
Cpu:AMD A-10 5700 APU 3.4GHz
Ram:8 GB
Hard drive:2TB
Moniter:hp 1080p 60hz 23 inch
psu:corsair 750w module

Be sure that you did not turn on Vsync. Vsync limits all game to 60 fps so that might be your problem

I have turned off vsync though

scottydot123 :

hmmm, that shouldn't be happening, try updating the NVidia driver then turning off vsync.

doesn't vsync tear at the screen,and why do people get 200+

I see you have a apu, since it has an internal GPU, maybe amds vsync has been turned on which may cause your problem. if its not that then all i can think of is your apu is bottle necking your Video Card.

Other than fps cap , your CPU is limiting your.graphic card to reach its full capabilties

So i have to buy a new cpu ffs

why does it only go up to 60 fps though.

MacintoshProductions · Aug 15, 2014

I dont know to be honest. See if there any driver updates and if not, then maybe contact amd and see if your apu is causing problems to your video card

Yes vsync does do screen tearing when the frame rate isn't the exact same as the monitors refresh rate.

However, v-sync introduces an artifact called lag, this is why many gamers (including me) turn off vsync because we don't want that lag. (That is why NVidia introduced G-SYNC.)

And the amd apus graphics won't interfere because he doesn't have a monitor output to the igpu, only the GTX 770.

And if i'm correct minecraft isn't that demanding so 100fps on a a10 should be normal.

Did you completely uninstall your previous card (or apu)'s graphics drivers before installing the 770?

i only get 60 fps on minecraft

You don't have to buy a new CPU. You can if you want, but you don't have to, yours should be more than fine for casual gaming

well at the moment i'm trying to reboot my pc back to factory settings but it just says some files are missing windows installation or recovery will provide these files. But windows 8 was pre-installed so i don't have the key for it.

i am thinking on buying a amd-9370 octa core 4.4Ghz are they good.

There's software out there that can tell you what key you're using, but if it's a dell/hp / major brand pc then that key would be useless, you'd have to use the key on the sticker instead.

They're overpriced and it won't fit in your motherboard

i feel like a fucking idiot for buying the 770

LucoTF · Aug 15, 2014

Why? it's a solid card

What resolution do you play at, and one more question - what motherboard do you have?

scottydot123 · Aug 15, 2014

LucoTF :

Ik i have a good card its just its not working like i want it too .Btw i play at 1080p and have a ms-7525 motherboard.And why do people keep saying it because of your refresh rate wtf.

scottydot123 · Aug 15, 2014

And i did turn off vsync and only go to 61 fps

bluejayek · Aug 15, 2014

Is there a reason you care that it isn't going over 60? Granted, perhaps you should be getting higher... But if you have a 60Hz monitor you will never see the difference. There is no point in going out and spending money on a CPU upgrade that will give you no benefit in the refresh rate you actually see.

If you had a 120Hz or 144Hz monitor that would be another story of course.

s

how does that make sense just because your moniter is whatever hz that how much fps u get?

bluejayek · Aug 15, 2014

FPS (Frames Per Second) is the number of frames of video that your graphics card/CPU are rendering per second. Your monitor runs at 60Hz, which is 60 refreshes per second. This means that it can only actually display 60 different frames of video every second. Any frame rate above this will not actually be displayed on your monitor. The extra frames will just never be displayed.

In fact, frame rates higher then your monitors refresh rate can cause 'screen tearing', which I understand happens when a monitor refresh occurs just as the graphics card is changing frames. This means that your monitor ends up showing say half of the previous frame on the top of your monitor, and half of the next frame on the bottom, making things temporarily look weird. V-sync fixes this problem by fixing your frame rate to be equal to or 1/2 of your monitors refresh rate. This forces your gpu frames to be rendered at the same time as the monitor refreshes and prevents tearing.

only 60 fps in games!
