okay so I had the frames limited. turns out I am getting up to 179 fps. I just wish my eyes were capable of that.
By "limited" do you mean V(ertical) Sync? If so, bear in mind that with V-Sync off there's elements of different spots in time on your screen. Agreed, they're all within a fraction of a second so it doesn't seem much. But: In a fight you're hunting an object that travels 140 yds a second (300 mph) and the said object is trying to position itself so that your target is the smallest possible, about a dozen feet in diameter. And the thing you're trying to hit it to make damage is about ½ to 1". That's real life measurements. Shrink them to fit your screen and we're talking about a dot of 1/8" as a target you may be able to hit with an imaginary bullet.
