Nvidia reflex capping my fps at 58

[jobert]

I fired up Fort Solis today and my fps was capped at 58 fps but disabling reflex fixed that issue. I knew Witcher 3 had reflex and checked it and sure enough it was capped at 58 fps also. This was not happening before and nothing has changed on my end so what is going on???

By design, Reflex keeps you 1 or 2 frames from whatever framerate cap is in place.

To get a full, locked 60: you would need to unlock the game's framerate, and then re-cap it at about 62 fps, with reflex.

It's for your own protection and safety. Hitting frames above sixty will blow your freaking mind.

You always want to be 1-3 fps below refresh to get the lowest latency, it's working as intended.
