XNA and DirectX capping at 60 FPS
Author
So I'm doing some general purpose GPU work (calculating PI on the GPU etc.). I am using XNA which uses DirectX. Using Fraps it appears that the frame rate is being capped at 60 fps. Also my timing data supports that claim. I remember seeing something about windows capping frame rates at 60 fps. Is there some way to work around that? Also do we know how the frame rate cap is applied?
This is just the VSync option, which is enabled by default. This is intended to make your game match your monitor's refresh rate, mainly to prevent 'tearing'. You can disable this in your derived game class constructor after the graphics object has been created by adding this line:
In DirectX, this is set in the PresentParameters object, by setting the PresentationInterval to Immediate.
graphics.SynchronizeWithVerticalRetrace = false; In DirectX, this is set in the PresentParameters object, by setting the PresentationInterval to Immediate.
