[SOLVED] Will three.js *try* to render at 60fps by default using the WebGL renderer?

Questions
#1

Basically, will it not go higher than 60 fps by default.

#2

Assuming that you are using requestAnimationFrame, it will not go higher than the refresh rate of your monitor. If your monitor has a refresh rate of 240Hz, then your app may run at 240fps, but the same app on a 60Hz monitor will run at max 60fps.

Thank you for answering here. +1. Stackoverflow left a bad taste in my mouth.

#4

Just out of curiousity, why?

#5

Stackoverflow is not a welcoming place to beginners, I’m not surprised.

I’ve asked just one question there, but before I did it, I’ve read, at least, about “How to ask”. Thus it wasn’t a problem for me to get the solving answer. :slight_smile:

What’s the right way to get higher fps than the monitor refresh rate?

#8

What are you trying to achieve?

#9

I want to know the maximum fps my computer can render even with a 60Hz monitor, like hardware benchmark from games like Quake.

You can try disabling vsync in your browser. There’s a guide here on how to do that:

I haven’t personally tried it, but that’s a good place to start.
