V-sync not disabled when turned off in settings

I’ve checked in settings, and my V-sync is disabled

  • In game frame rate reports 59-60 fps, alternating about 5x a sec.
  • External fps holds at 60 fps

With a 4080 super in oc mode, and currently at 12% power, and clock at 690 /2640 (menu queued for match)

-next match: 13% power and 825/2640

It should be able to achieve better than a consistent 59-60fps during:

a) menu
b) character select.
next match 17-18 pw 1835 clock

c) spawn
next match 14% power 990/2640 clock

d) in game play
next match spike to 20% power 1200-1800/2640 clock

No frame rate change despite lots of power available, clock available and v-sync off

maybe v-sync setting is broken

All menus are locked at 60FPS, regardless of GPU. Trying to go beyond 60FPS also reaches beyond the scope of this forum, since that’s enthusiast territory.

It could be that the overclock isn’t playing nice with the game. Additionally, some peripheral drivers will cause an FPS lock, like Razer Synapse or Corsair iCUE.

ok then why have a v-sync feature at all if your game is not capable of turning off.

Seriously, like I get 140+ in forza 5 horizons (max settings).

same everything.

If tech support forum can’t help with in game fps lock though v-sync is off who can?

not the card or system. seems to be the product.

edit: really don’t think turning on or off v-sync and not having it do what it is supposed to do is enthusiast territory. I’m sure I could flip it to default mode, and still get the same results since nothing is peaking anywhere near max

It can run without V-Sync. For instance, my game runs at well over 100FPS in all matches.

Probably a hardware forum or Reddit thread? This forum is only for player-to-player troubleshooting of crashes and installation issues for the most part. Blizzard doesn’t offer troubleshooting for FPS optimization. As a volunteer, I don’t really dive into that topic either because I’m not sitting in front of the PC being optimized.

but not the people who made the product?

It’s unlikely that the in-game V-Sync setting is causing this issue since it would be broken for everyone (we’re all on the same version of the game). The only exception would be if your directory permissions are corrupted and Overwatch 2 can’t save the settings you’re choosing.

The other thing that controls V-Sync is the GPU driver software settings on your machine. They can be individually optimized per game, so check there.

Again, it’s a P2P forum. And lately, it’s just me volunteering here. The Blizzard techs who used to post here have been gone for over a year. They didn’t make the game either, though.
