DarkwaveDomina 1099 Posted February 20, 2014 Can monitors affect frame rate as well? I've noticed even after upgrading a lot of my stuff I'm still topping out at 60 fps and that's the way my old graphics card was too, but on my girlfriends computer with a different monitor and my old gpu, she gets like 80fps sometimesThe only real effect monitors have on framerate is the resolution and the refresh rate, i.e. You don't see the effect of >60fps on a 60hz display.

This isn't so bad but the main reason I don't use vsync is it makes my mouse movement feel laggy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChimpyGlassman (DayZ) 51 Posted February 21, 2014 I mixed the settings up last night, some things on max, some things disabled and I got crazy mixed results. Highs of 120 FPS running from town to town/in the wilderness and lows of 15 PFS in Cherno. I will do some overclocking and try again tonight. Never known like it.

Sutinen 635 Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) I get 20 fps and 12 fps while zooming and in the worst parts a.k.a Cherno suburbs I get max 15 fps and a slideshow if I zoom in. To me it's okay since I can just avoid those parts completely. I refuse to put my render resolution below 100% :D Edited February 21, 2014 by Sutinen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have heard some people warning against it but I'll try anything at this point to avoid 18 FPS in big towns/cities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
