Gsync limits fps

[Redlemon]

It's all in the title.

I have a monster config and i can't go past 23fps.
the funny thing is that if i move the window to my second monitor, it's goes up to 60fps.

if i desactivate gsync, it goes back to 60fps capped too.

do you have any intention to fix it ?

THanks guys

Do you have vsync enabled in the settings? If so, try disabling it.

I've heard of Vsync but what's Gsync?

Yep, it's exactly the same with Vsync off.

Still 24Fps, auwful to play.

It looks like your Gsync is locked to desktop refresh rate and not refresh rate of Factorio. Do you play in window or fullscreen? If in window, try to set fullscreen (and restart game, just to be sure). Can you post factorio logs?

[Redlemon]

Here we go.

Same problem with fullscreen.

My desktop refresh rate is at 144hz.

What if you just turn G-sync off? Factorio doesn't support G sync currently.

Yes it works like a charm if i disable it.
well, i can't go to 120fps nor 144 but 60 is fine.
I don't know if you go higher than 60.

i was just wondering if you where thinking about supporting it in the futur ?
But i'm maybe not far from the only one with this matter

Have a great day.

The Factorio simulation logic is locked to 60 updates per second, so it is pretty much hard coded.
120 fps could still theoretically help, the factory would still simulate in 60fps, but camera movement (player running), would be rendered smoothened.

Anyway, I'm moving this to not a bug.
