Frame rate??

Refresh rate and frame rate are two different things. HDMI does not make everything run at a frame rate of 60FPS.

No frame rate drops. The first game is pretty awful at maintaining fixed frame rate.

How am I lying?

My monitor refreshes 60 times per second.

I can lock frame rate to 30 frames per second via command console.

I can lock frame rate to 60 frames per second via command console.

I can see the difference between the game running at 30 fps and 60 fps.

You think my system is suffering from rate drops.

The frame rate tracker says my game is running at constant 30 fps when I lock it to 30.

The frame rate tracker says my game is running at constant 60 fps when I lock it to 60.

The frame rate tracker says my game is running at constant 299 fps when I don't lock the frame rate (it is unlocked by default).

The frame rate tracker disagrees with your hypothesis that my system is suffering from frame rate drops.

Where is the lie?

Clear cache in your Xbox console.

How to do it?

1. Turn on your XBOX
console

2. Press & hold Power button for
10 seconds

3. After 10 second Xbox will be immediately shutdown

4. Turn on your XBOX again

5. That's all

My xbox seems to be drooping frames/stuttering whether im playing online or on the menus , its making games unplayable at times help anyone??

Is this with the xbox one or 360. Have you attempted doing a full power cycle by holding the power icon until the system goes through a reboot? Is this happening on all games, or just one in particular?
