This is so odd for some reason what ever i set my screen refresh rate at, that is the max fps i will reach in full screen games?

I used net_graph 1 for cs 1.6 and source

and fraps for all other games

I set it to 60hz

CS:S = 60FPS

CS 1.6 = 60 FPS

F.E.A.R = 60 FPS

Etc etc,

So i set to 75hz, the maximum it will let me, then guess what

CS:S = 75 FPS

CS 1.6 = 75 FPS

F.E.A.R = 75 FPS


Is there anyway i can stop this from happening i have the latest nvidia drivers, and ofcourse i have the latest dx. so wasup =[

lol dont worry about it. 60FPS and 75FPS are both OUTSTANDING. You dont need anything higher than that. This current pc im using gets only 14 FPS in oblivion outside of towns. yeah, i know. even less when there are enemies nearby. If you have to, try turning off vsync.

No im not complaining, i had a 5200 i got used to sub 30 fps, im saying when i want to see how far i can go, and if i do this and that (overlocking for example) how it increases my performance.

Hee hee now yer talking my language (overclocking) I am king of the overclockers...

How much do you want to overclock?

Im not a pro overclocker hehe, i was just trying out what all this overclocking business is about and how it affects performance.

Just curious was all

So i tried a bit with ATITool

Yes with ATI tool I would go for "look for artifacts first" then up the memory by 15 and then the core by 10 then scan for artifacts etc and so on..Once it finds artifacts drop it down by 3 a piece and youre good to go..

Cannot do it quick like go from 500mghz to 600 gotta go slow like from 500 to 510 etc. this way you will have a stable overclock..

Like I have a machine that only has an x550 in it and I have it so overclocked in run Crysis on all medium settings with a good frame rate
