Oh maaaaan; they don't have a typical command in the game for it? Bummer. So, I've got to run some 3rd party program on top of the game? I don't have the spare CPU cycles for that.

OK See if this works ( It should on all on Quake 3 based games )

go to C:\Program Files\Call of Duty\Main

Open up config.cfg in notepad > hit ctrl + f , be sure to have your cursor at the very first > type in fps, it should take you to cg_drawFPS "0" > change that 0 to 1 > find the next fps and change max fps to 500 or whatever

I got this via a google search.

It's a cheats page for the demo version, but maybe it'll work for the full version. Give it a try, the FPS should work no matter what since it's the same command for all Quake3 engine based games that I know of.

cg_drawFPS 1 - Turns fps display on

You guys rock. Thanks a lot!!!! Now, let's see what my wanna-be Uber Rig gets...

Well, lets's see. 1152x864 all settings maxed. I get an even 60FPS. What confuses me is that when I turn on 4xAA and 4xAF I still get 60FPS. In all other games, my framerate takes about a 20% hit with AA/AF turned on. What's up with this?

It's under Option --> System --> Performance.....Sync Every Frame

It should be disable to turn Vsync off.

 

[MichaelD]

Nope. Not there. I've looked but I can't find it. Funny...I've seen it before.

michael wut video card do u have?

if ati goto your display properties-> settings tab-> advanced -> 3d tab -> select opengl and check use custom settings, click custom and make sure "wait for vertical sync" is off

personaly i like vsync on so u dont get thoose lines accross your screen when you fps goes higher then ur refresh rate

What's up with this?

Three possible reasons:

(1) vsync is on.
(2) com_maxFPS is set to 60.
(3) You are CPU limited.

It's probably vsync. Not that that's a bad thing, there's nothing to be gained by turning it off.

Without Vsync visible tears in textures are noticable (with my system at least) in every game - as well as stutters from frames going from 150 to 70 fps.

 

[XBoxLPU]

I have never seen tears in textures..

All it does is keep your video card from sending your monitor more FPS than it can display. Why do you hate it?

 

[BFG10K]

Why do you hate it?

Because it degrades performance and introduces input latency.
