Seems like my FPS are capped at 60fps

Even though its set at /com_maxfps 125

Does anyone know what could be wrong ?

Re: FPS

Did that start recently, or was it always like that for you? Did you tweak your config in any way lately? Does it happen on a default config as well? Is it stable 60fps or does it fluctuate? Does it happen on all maps? Did you try removing all custom pk3 files out of your e+ and baseq3 directories? Did you replace your gfx card recently, or reinstall drivers? Did you change anything in the driver control panel?

You didn't really give much info to go on.

Re: FPS

Can you tell me, what values you have for these commands :
r_mode (the resolution mode shouldn't be very big or else the fps will be capped by performance limits)
r_displayrefresh (the capped fps value if vsync is 1)
r_swapInterval (this is vsync on/off. should be 0 for non-capped)
r_fullscreen (if you play on window mode the fps will be capped)

but before these you might need to think about what madbringer asked there.

Re: FPS

I had this problem a couple months back. turns out vertical sync was turned on in my graphic card control panel and was a global setting which overwrites quake config settings. my card was a nvidia card.

Ofc cousre you could have turned it on ingame as well which would also cap fps to 60. i forgot the command for it however.

Re: FPS

Yesterday i tried to play with my commands in my cfg to make it better but it seems that windows 7 64 bit ( I use this windows) dont save the commands in the values you want. For example r_mode was 8 in my cfg and when i try to lower it to 3 then when i start play i went to check it and it was 8 again. Something i wrong with windows and dont let change the values in the cfg.

Real life is more important then Virtual life
Dont forget that
