Windows 10: When I disable VRR fps does not rise above 165.

Hello. I disabled the Variable Reflesh Rate function in the windows graphics settings and now my fps does not rise above 165. My screen is 165 hz. Should it be like this?

Opty 165 Toledo core?

I have an Opty 165, which CPUz reports as a Toledo core. But in the CPU database, the Opty 165 is listed as having a Denmark core*Confused .

Whats the difference between the two? My stepping is CCBBE 0617 FPMW (quite good I believe) BTW.

Cheers

 

My new Opty 165 OC

I'm happy with it. I just wish my second core wasn't so sensitive. I think my first core would be happy at 2.8. My only suggestion is looking on ebay. Sometimes there are some on auction that give you the steppings. That's how I found mine from tr740. He had it on auction w/ steppings. I paid around 165. Great deal, when you know your getting a brand new cpu with a great stepping.

 

My laptop screen flickers in games if variable refresh rate is enabled.

Hello, I haven't tried reinstalling the driver yet, but I think I will. Screen flickering could be due to a BIOS update? And why does the flickering disappear when I turn off the variable refresh rate of the screen? Is it related to the intel driver? And why is my frame rate blocked up to a maximum of 165 fps when I disable vrr?
