FPS Question for M14x

So, I just got my M14x today, and I love it, I am running wow on ultra at 60fps, with no problems at all. But i wondered if the FPS on the m14x is locked somehow, cause no matter what resolution or quality i put the game on, i still only get 60fps. I should go way up on FPS when i drop the quality down, but it stays the same!? Any thoughts of what I am missing?

Thanks,

ha! Awesome, thanks! Im spiking to max-200 in buidings, and 70ish outside now. Very nice. Thanks.

 

ha yea i did rep ya! What do you mean my eyes can only see 25fps? There is a clear difference in 30 fps and 60 fps, and 60 fps and 120? I mean, i can see a difference, i dont understand lol.

 

Thanks for the info, thats interesting.

 

It's not what the eyes can see, that is for watching videos. For gaming the more fps the better because when you move your mouse and the camera view the fps also moves and the more fps the smoother it is.

 

Exactly. It's always nice to have generous FPS available because let's say an enemy throws a smoke bomb in your direction and you lag for 2-3 seconds, guess what? You're a dead man!

Sure 24 FPS is fine if you're in a field by yourself as a recon/sniper (FPS), have 1 harvester collecting ore (RTS), are solo questing at 3AM (MMORPG), etc.

End-game content, late game battles, graphic intensive effects and so on is what players are generally concerned about

Tips to improve FPS is
- Vsync OFF
- Shadows Low or Medium

For MMORPG's such as WoW for example, if you configure both of the above settings as well as use "Windowed Mode", followed by a double click on the top bar to expand the window into windowed-full screen mode, that will double your FPS

 

Having anything above 60FPS is pointless. " i can runz game at 600fps!!1". Who cares? If you're mostly getting 60FPS or more, you may as well turn V-Sync on. It won't hurt, and it'll eliminate any tearing, if/when it occurs.

As for your eyes being able to see up to 300FPS? Well that's fantastic, if you have a monitor that can run at 300Hz. This one doesn't. It runs at 60Hz.

 

When I played WoW, long long ago, I always used vsync and tripple buffering since it eliminated any tearing when spinning around or panning quickly. You aren't going to notice anything over 60 fps anyways, so as long as your GPU can maintain frame rates over that you may as well use vsync/buffering. That goes for any game. I use it by default in everything, and only disable it certain very demanding games when necessary.
