WTF , GTX 280 only giving a max of 60 Frames per second

    I've bought this card like a month ago , But I was surprised to see it giving me a maximum of 60 frames / second almost in every game . So anyway to increase it ?

    And on these games it gave an average of 45 - 50 FPS

    * Prototype
    * Assassin's Creed II
    * Dead space

    I wonder why the benchmarks show it giving much higher rates than 60 fps in most of games I complain about .

    My Specification :
    650 Watt power supply
    2 GB DDR3 Ram
    E7500 processor .

    you could change your processor, change the ram latency, and you could overclock your video card.

    You could throw in another gig of RAM. You can also see if there's a hardware vsync option that has been turned on.

    Yeah when I closed Vsync in Prince of Persia the forgotten sands I got an average of 130 FPS , But in Assassin's creed 2 it remained the same around 45 - 50 FPS Because it wasn't limited by the Vsync .

    The only problem I have is that In some games like PES 2010 I get 60 FPS constant not increasing or decreasing even after I turned off Vsync . Though 60 FPS is playable and no single lag but I love to see numbers like 150 - 200 on the top :D

    They are more Expensive , I still like to use xp so I wouldn't benefit from Dx11 .

    It's odd that you're still stuck at a certain FPS even with vsync disabled. You turned it off both from the hardware side (if you have that option) and in-game, correct? If so, then what resolution and settings are you running the game at?

    I know some game engines have a physical limit that can not be passed up, regardless of what kind of hardware your running.

    Are you sure that you can get past 40 - 50 fps with Assassin's creed 2? Wasn't that game released on the console platform first, and then ported to the PC? So maybe 40 - 50 fps is all it was designed for.

    On Dead space & prototype turning off vsync gave me average of 120 FPS , Assassin's creed II still stuck at that rate 45 - 50 , Pes 2010 turning off vsync made no change still 60 fps not decreasing and not increasing So I guess game is also fixed at that rate .

    So the problem is from games now , thanks for noting out .

    Thanks for the note about Assassin's creed II , Also people who have Ati HD 5870 Say that it's at 45 - 50 fps also .
