ISBoxer and 120hz monitors?

[Pycno]

Any way to get this to work with 120hz refresh rate?

I don't understand the question, why is your refresh rate important to ISBoxer? How are you not using your 120Hz refresh rate?

The game is in windowed mode, the refresh rate for your monitor should be controlled by your Windows monitor settings

Ah of course... Nevermind this thread :P

Crossing my fingers for a 64-bit client to be ready in time for MoP
Have a feeling Blizzard did not start preparing the 64-client after all these years by coincidence, with the spike in hardware requirements in every expansion I think the 64-bit client is being made for the purpose of preparing users for the increased requirements coming in MoP.

That should be right, and it probably is. Anything else would not make sense at all.

But framerate is still limited to 60 by something. Occasionally it spikes to ~100.

I've checked the following settings:

Windows refresh rate - 120hz
/console maxfps 120
ISBoxer framerate limiter toggled off (it seems to support max of 100 fps)
InnerSpace framerate limiter disabled or set to 120fps


The only explanation I can think of right now is that my Windows refresh rate is actually set to 60hz somehow and not 120hz, will test it when I'm at home again.

Is there anyone boxing with 120hz/fps?

I'm using three monitors, primary (middle) monitor is 1920x1080p@120hz while the two others are 1920x1200@60hz

Check your VSync setting in the game? If you're at 60Hz and VSync is enabled, FPS will be capped at 60. If it spikes to 100 on occasion, then it is not being FPS-limited by ISBoxer to 60, or VSync capped to 60. You might just not be able to pump out 120 FPS on all of your windows?

Also, ISBoxer's FPS settings override Inner Space's FPS settings. Whatever you set it to in the Inner Space configuration window is irrelevant when using ISBoxer.

Not sure if either of these will be any help, but they might be worth checking -

I left VSync on with purpose, but I think my logic failed there.

Maybe each instance of WoW locks itself at 60fps and 60hz because the slave monitor (with 4 windows on it) only supports 60hz?

Disabling VSync should let the game spew out as many frames as it wants (only limited by /console maxfps 120) and the primary screen will display it all, and the slaves will be the same as before as their fps is capped at 12 anyway.

I think thats the answer, just turning off VSync, will test it tomorrow after werk :3

I'm using a 5970 so my performance is on par with a 5850 card, it's a bottleneck for sure but not at 60fps - least not with one toon open.
Now that I play WoW again I might upgrade to a 7970 or something, I wish I had just bought two 5870 back in the days. Would have given me more than double the performance in WoW, enough connections for all my monitors as well as save a load of cash from the triple gpu and really unreliable/unstable setup of 5970+5850.
