Hello
I have installed nvidia-prime to switch overdiscrete video card.When i run prime-run glxgears get 60 FPS same in games.

prime-run glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh.  The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
302 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.345 FPS

Can this be turned off somehow?

4

Yes.

But before that, what are you hoping to gain by running the game at a higher refresh rate?

get over 60 FPS

That didn't answer my question.

Q: "Why do you want more than 60FPS?"
A: "To get more than 60FPS"

Let me rephrase the question: What gameplay problem is caused by having vsync enabled?

For games 60 FPS is not enough,lags

You are running a 920m depending on your game ? what are you expecting?

There are several places where vsync might be being enforced.

I'd start with the KDE compositor,

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE#Disable_compositing

then move onto PRIME Sync:

Hi there, welcome to the community !
Firstly, you should compare apples with apples.

This is not the CS GO fps, it is just the refresh rate of your screen.

You have to measure fps from CS GO, the same way you measure in windows.
For example, on my laptop

prime-run glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh.  The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
723 frames in 5.0 seconds = 144.410 FPS
721 frames in 5.0 seconds = 144.018 FPS
721 frames in 5.0 seconds = 144.034 FPS

Though, CS GO FPS may even be as large as 400+ in game. See,

Screenshot from 2022-07-08 23-03-51

( I am not a very good at playing games though :sweat_smile: )

So, you have to

  1. Enable commands in CS GO settings.

  2. Press ` from your keyboard. This should open command console.

  3. Type net_graph 1 This should show statistics at the bottom of your screen.

  4. Type fps_max_menu 400 and fps_max 400 to set upper limit to 400 fps. ( I set it to 1000, but it will rarely reach it. So, 400 would be more than enough)

  5. Start playing the game, and notice the fps and ping and other stats, and compare them with windows.

If your fps is still low, I will be happy to help.
