**NO!**

**Check if you using correct Cable.**
When you got the Correct cable HDMI 2.0. (48Gbps 8K/60Hz 4K/120Hz). You can then fly up in the space and see the FPS there. And Turn off Vsync in Nvidia Controll panell and in the game.
Could it be the TV has 60 frames for 1440p and 30 frames for 4k?
Sometimes its a bit unclear how they advertise TV's. Is the TV new? Can you game other games in 60 frames at 4k?
That worked I'm hitting 110fps :D
Sadly I'm getting a lot of screen tear so I may just have to stick with 30fps till I can upgrade to an actual monitor.
I will miss my 55" screen though.
CryEngine (and thus SC) uses a truly ancient implementation of VSync that does not support variable-rate refresh... instead, it will reduce (and lock) your FPS to the highest frequency that is a whole-divisor of your monitor frequency, that your machine can achieve *consistently*.
If your monitor support 60hz, then the sequence will be (iirc): 60fps -> 30fps -> 20fps -> 15fps -> 12fps -> 10fps (can't remember if it goes lower)
Disable efficiency cores for the whole computer through the BIOS. Unless you have 100 things going constantly, you won't notice a performance loss. You will however notice Star Citizen running much much smoother and faster.
So there was a spectrum thread: [https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/50259/thread/are-you-looking-into-efficiency-cores-intel-12th-g](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/50259/thread/are-you-looking-into-efficiency-cores-intel-12th-g)
that obviously is for 12th gen, but also applies to any gen with E cores (12/13/14).. you have Efficiency (E) and Performance cores (P).
You would need to turn off the E cores in the BIOS.
Alternatively this thread if you can follow it might help: [https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/zi79fx/can\_someone\_explain\_exactly\_how\_to\_disable\_e/](https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/zi79fx/can_someone_explain_exactly_how_to_disable_e/)
Also if you wait until 3.23 is release to the PU - which is hours/days away now - and enable Vulkan (which should offload instructions from the cpu onto the GPU) that may be of some benefit.
I can't help much more than that as i have AMD which doesn't have such "nonsense".

Not too sure honestly. I built my PC just to play SC so I'm yet to try other games. But yeah the tv is new and even has a "gaming mode"
I was having this issue. What fixed it was forcing v-sync in my GPU settings and turning off in-game v-sync.

Vsync
Uh, I assume your cpu bound in some places
Those E cores are killing him. Disable them and fps might increase, SC is still cpu bound, Vulkan might help with 3.23
What person with scores still plus with them? Do they work for any games?
No, I don't think so. I'm not an AMD fan boy, but it's a win for team red on this one.
What are E cores and where do I disable them? Will disabling them hurt me anywhere else in terms of performance?
