[SOLVED] Capping at 60 fps makes game run badly

[n9neman]

So, when I play Halo Reach on PC, i have to use the 60 fps cap because my monitor is only 60 hz. For some reason. using the in game 60 fps cap makes my game run really choppy and just bad all around. Feels under 60 fps too. I can uncap the fps and my game runs perfectly above 60 frames, but it screen tears since im not on 144hz. So, any one have any guesses on why capping it at 60 makes it run like crap?

Disable fullscreen optimisation under the compatibility tab for the games exe.

Enable ingame Vsync or force Vsync in graphics card properties.

I avoid V-Sync due to the lag. However try setting the cap to 58 or 59 FPS. I have read this can work better than 60 but personally never needed to.

Was getting there with input lag if Vsync helps.

I used to game on 60Hz TVs and limited fps to 59 with Vsync and never had input lag.

I have never been able tolerate V-Sync, I found it very noticeable. I have found using frame limiters a good compromise as it’s not as good for eliminating screen tearing but doesn’t introduce lag. However do try all options and see what works for you.

I am the same with Vsync, can't tolerate it. Playing on 60Hz, capping fps alone was ok but didn't feel smooth compared to having Vsync on. Id always have fps limited just under refresh so Vsync lag was never noticeable.

Im not sure how to force it to 59, as the in game options only has 2 settings for fps: 60 FPS, or Unlimited.

I used Nvidia Inspector to cap fps, Msi Afterburner does it as well. There should be fps limiter in your Radeon software too.
