is there a way to cap every game to 60fps

[dannyhefc69]

Hey, I have just built my new rig and screen tearing is pi $$ ing me off. With vsync on it feels like games are in slow motion but with it off I get screen tearing. So I was wondering is there a way to cap every game to 60 fps. Im thinking this will solve both my issiues

My spec

I7 4790 (non k)

R9 290x

Z97 pro wifi ac

Evga nex750b

8gb ddr3 ram

Samsung 120gb ssd evo

Samsung 52in 3D smart tv (60hz)

Vsync should have all games running at 60 fps . Why does it feel slow?

Another option is turn game details up , AA and AF up till you never go much above 60 FPS

V-sync is the right answer for screen tearing.
g-sync would be better, but that requires an Nvidia card and support from the monitor.
AMD is developing adaptive-sync with the same capabilities but it isn't supported yet.

TVs don't usually have the same response time as monitors. This will likely lead to motion blur. Are you sure what you are seeing is tearing?

it just feeling like motion blur is on with v sync. i dont want input lag or the sudden frame drops which happens with v sync. i was thinking capping all games to 60fps would make the game run at a constant 60fps without the drop to 30fps and without the input lag

You could try a frame limiter (radeonpro and some others have it)
But you might get tearing below 60 FPS too. Just not quite as pronounced

BTW why did you get a Z97 board with a locked processor?

yes its tearing, it doesnt happen all the time just when alot is happening on screen with games like dead rising 3 or middle earth. for some reason tho bf4 in ultra with about 90-120fps its smooth as butter no tearing at all???

just been looking at msi afterburn. there is a way to cap with that so i will give it a go. and i got the z97 purly for the bulit in wifi and the audio optical port, also it gives me a upgrade path down the road

There other thing to try is triple-buffering. Disable v-sync and any frame limiting you have enabled.
Where games don't support it directly, you can force it on in the Catalyst Control Center.

Was going to suggest this. Afterburner includes RivaTuner Statics Server with its download and you can set it to 60 FPS (or whatever) in that separate utility. I use it to eliminate stuttering in Skyrim (especially in crypts) with my AMD GPU.

think i have it under control. i just reset amd ccc back to default setting and used in game v sync, solid 60fps no tearing
