What does 324 FPS mean?
What does 324 FPS mean?
Hey, I'm really new to PC gaming in 3D. Maybe my understanding is off or I'm misinterpreting things. I've heard that 60 FPS or 120 FPS is typical on high settings at 1080p. On YouTube, I see many creators with powerful GPUs, CPUs, and RAM still managing around 80 or 111 FPS. In my case, I'm playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on a 60-inch 3D TV. With 3D glasses on, I'm averaging 150-165 FPS. Without them, it jumps to 324 FPS or more. My friend mentioned I sometimes hit 417 FPS during gameplay without focusing on specific corners. I don't own a high-end setup; it's just an average rig. I have an Asus Maximus VII, a Core i5 4690K (4.5 GHz), Corsair Ven.8GB (1800 MHz), and an Asus R9 270 (stock). Even at 60 FPS, I'm seeing higher numbers. I'm not sure if I'm missing something or just getting used to the setup. Please help me figure this out, because I'm not very familiar with tech stuff yet.
Did you adjust the graphics settings to the maximum? Check the resolution and confirm it’s 1920x1080. Even though COD isn’t especially challenging, I haven’t played it yet, so the actual frame rate might vary.
Modern Warfare isn't a tough game. My slow laptop, which I attempted to play BF3 on (gained only 2-3 fps at the lowest), managed around 60 fps with mid to high settings. Not too surprising. As others mentioned, ensure you're using the maximum settings.
It's likely most YouTube users have Vsync turned on, aligning their screen refresh with the game's frame rate. Since most displays operate at 60 hertz, 60 frames per second is the maximum visible, as screens can't show anything beyond that due to limitations in panel technology. There are also 120 hertz and 144 hertz options, which can display up to those rates. On higher refresh screens, you can notice the frame rate increase up to 120 or 144 fps, but beyond that it becomes invisible, just like with 60 hertz. Vertical sync ensures the game runs at a consistent frame rate, matching your screen's refresh, so even if it exceeds that number, it serves no purpose because you can't perceive it.
