FPS Capped at 61?

[Tscully]

Hi, i've recently purchased a new computer, but it seems my FPS is capped at 61. What could cause this?

ditto. what game are you playing. though i am guessing you have an LCD with a refresh rate of 60Hz and VSync turned on

60Hz is the refresh rate for the monitor. I don't see how that would lower or limit your FPS, though.

Most games have a cap on FPS. Why I am not sure.

Its almost definatly V-Sync, which stops tearing in games, any higher frame rate would be pointless anyway as the panel cannot display it as its only recieving a horizontal scan at 60hz. So V-Sync (Vertical Synchronisation) will sync the horizontal scanning the same as the vertical so that the picture cannot be distorted due to differences in refresh rates. Keep it as it is as it will prevent tearing and you could encounter other problems.
