Old Bay Scent Trail

So, on Saturday, it was Batman Day.

And I said, I feel like I've got to play something Batman related.

And I said, you know what, I'll play Arkham Knight, Batman Arkham Knight.

And I also decided, you know what, let me try playing this on the Steam Machine just to see how that goes.

Now, initially when I spooted the game up and things were running, I was very perplexed because the game was only running at 60.

And I'm like, I'm fairly certain the game can do more than 60.

And so I'm like going through the settings and I look at everything and I said, all right, let me set it for...

I was like, all right, cool.

We can raise the frame rate to 90.

I was like...

Okay, I'll set it to 90.

I saved the settings, I played the game, and it's still only 60.

And I, for the life of me, could not figure out what is going on here.

Because I know the game, it should definitely be doing more than 60.

If my old laptop can play the game at 60, this should definitely easily be able to do more than that.

but I eventually gave up because I couldn't get to work.

Right.

Uh, but I came back later after thinking about it and I realized the game or rather I was playing the game while also recording at the same time.

And my capture card is only 60 is, is only, uh, uh, 60 Hertz.

So that has been bottlenecking my recording.

So when I unplugged it and plugged it directly into my monitor, then I actually was able to take advantage of the higher, uh, no, the, the higher Hertz.

Now you still, the game still only is capped to 90 for me.

Uh, I don't know if that's just the hard cap limit for the game or whatnot, but it's only,

um, did you turn off the sink?

I think I did, but I just, I, I'm not 100% certain.
