Why does all the Call of Duty games lock onto 91 FPS max?

J-Man · Jan 1, 2009, 12:10 AM

I don't get no higher then 91 FPS in all the Call of Duty games. Why is this?

Kusimeka · Jan 1, 2009, 12:29 AM

Odd, i think i actuley have the same issue, but it jumps around so much i can't tell, but i know i've never gone over 100, but no need to worry, locked at 91 is fine, you don't need anymore

LittleLizard · Jan 1, 2009, 12:32 AM

with 60 u are ok but in fact, yes it is weird

philbrown23 · Jan 1, 2009, 12:35 AM

I lock at 61 and even at the lowest settings cant get more. with 2 4850's and a 4670 in crossfirex

J-Man · Jan 1, 2009, 12:58 AM

Very strange. It's only in Call of Duty games. I own all the games on PC and 91 FPS max on all.

newtekie1 · Jan 1, 2009, 01:09 AM

I believe the COD games are locked at 91 FPS.

You used to be able to edit config.cfg to change the com_maxfps to a higher number or 0 to disable the framerate cap all together. However, a lot of people reported smoother gameplay with the cap on than with it off.

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Jan 1, 2009, 01:20 AM

I could have swore ive gotten higher than 91 FPS.

Do this:

Options>Graphics>Sync every Fram = no
then enable the developer console under game options.
Open the console (~) and type in com_maxfps 125 (thats what I cap it at).
enjoy.

Other commands to help you know if anything is messing up is:
cg_drawfps 1
cg_drawlagometer 1

ShadowFold · Jan 1, 2009, 01:47 AM

The engine runs the best going at 120-125fps so lock it there. No need to go higher honestly.

u2konline · Jan 1, 2009, 02:25 AM

125 thats hot(good)

The benchmark removes the framerate cap automatically when it runs.

How I worded that was for in CoD:WaW but if you disable v-sync and do the com_maxfps command it should fix your problem.

J-Man · Jan 1, 2009, 03:31 AM

V-sync is always disabled but I'll do the command soon.
