Doom 3 FPS cap?

[pbmaster]

Is there one? Mine never goes above or below 60 FPS, no matter what settings I use. Only does it with this game, and I'm certain the VSync is off.

I'd check the video card VSYNC settings, there is an over-ride setting somewhere that forces VSYNC.

[pbmaster]

Yeah, I checked. It's forced off.

Check in the Doom 3 options...

"com_fixedTic [-1,0,1] - If set to 0 (the default) Doom 3's ticrate is capped at 60FPS, meaning the game framerate cannot exceed this, except when running a timedemo. If you want to remove this cap, set com_fixedTic to -1. Setting it to 1 removes the cap, but causes the game physics to go out of sync. Removing the FPS cap doesn't necessarily improve performance, and can lead to more variable framerates. Note that com_fixedTic -1 doesn't work as of the latest patch."

Yeah, I checked. It's forced off.

set vsync to off under "advanced graphics options" on doom 3 panel AND
"default off" or "application" in your graphics driver panel

[pbmaster]

It does work with the latest patch man, and trust me, I checked everywhere to make sure VSync was off.

Why would you turn vysnc off anyway? If you're getting 100FPS and your monitor only does 60 all you're doing is hurting yourself as you're getting undesireable visuals.

[pbmaster]

I never have vsync on, and never get "undesireable visuals"..

THere is a cap. Removing it is pointless as is pushes animations and physics out of sync.
