Hi everyone
I have Asus RX480 8GB o/c edition, with an i7 6700K at stock and 16GB of system ram.
AMD Radeon drivers installed are the latest Crimson 17.1.1 on a new o/s installation so no leftovers from previous cards or systems.
The resolution currently (I am limited by the monitor) is 1680X1050 and the connection is DVI.
O/S is Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
I checked the frames using FRAPS
I tried two games that I already have, Dragon Age Inquisition and Skyrim.
In Dragon Age during black screens, menus etc the FRAPS reports fps like 100, 150 etc.
During game however the frames are stuck at 49. I have set everything to High, Medium, Low and still the frames are stuck at 49. It is like there is a limiter or cap, something like Vsync but I didn't find such an option in Game options. The game runs smoothly, no fps drops, the only problem is that frames at stuck at 49.
In Skyrim during gaming the frames are stuck at 59-60. Irrespective of open areas or within dungeons, rooms etc, again no frame drops, no shuttering, only frames stuck at 60.
The game was tested with everything at High and Medium and still FPS stuck at 60.
I couldn't find also an Vsync option in game.
A last point during gaming with these two, I don't hear the 3 fans from the gpu so I believe they are either stopped due to low temps or are turning at really low revs again due to low temps.
At idle the gpu with gpu-z reports 40-44 degrees celcious and both gpu clock and gpu memory clocks are idling.
Is there a Vsync option or limiter within the AMD Crimson 17.1.1 drivers that cap the fps in games? I couldn't find such a thing that's is why I am puzzled and frustrated because I would expect with this pc components and with these two old games, the frames should have been around 80 or at least moving around, up and down during the game.
Any insight or feedback will be helpful.
Thanks!!!
