SDL limit FPS in Fullscreen mode

[MrScautHD]

Hello, by setting the game into fullscreen, the fps get limit to 60 FPS.

Info:
With SDL D3D11 and OpenGL get limited!

Make sure vertical sync is disabled (set swap interval to 0) and is not forced on by your driver. Apart from that, this will most likely be driver & implementation specific for which I can do nothing about.

[MrScautHD]

By disabling it does work but it should possible to override this variable and set it to false.

[aquagoose]

I'm assuming your global setting is to have vertical sync enabled? It is not possible to override this value, as a global value is forced by the driver, regardless of the application's settings. You should select "use application setting".

[MrScautHD]

"use application setting" does not exist, and what use other games to fix this issue?

[aquagoose]

There should be a setting similar to it. I haven't used the nvidia control panel in a long time so I don't remember the exact name. This sounds to me like a driver setting.

[MrScautHD]

Oh, sry it is wrong translaited if i set it to it and it does not work.

[aquagoose]

I will have to test on a windows machine. However I don't think there is any solution to this problem.

[MrScautHD]

And SDL does not have any method to disable VSync or any other method to disable it...

i found something: https://www.gamedev.net/forums/topic/665862-how-to-disable-vsync-in-sdl-2/

SDL does itself not handle vertical sync at all. SDL just interfaces with the underlying window system.

But what is that? https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/SDL_GL_SetSwapInterval

[aquagoose]

SDL_GL_SetSwapInterval will interface with the various underlying OpenGL systems. For windows, it will call wglSwapIntervalEXT, for X11 it will call glxSetSwapInterval etc.

well but GL has the same problem

[aquagoose]

As I've said, I have no control over what SDL does when setting the swap interval. However since all the function does is call the window manager functions, I have even less control as those functions are directly handled by the window manager and display driver.

Did you googled it already if any user has the same issue?
