UFO test bug?

Edited Update:
See HOWTO: Fix "TestUFO Stuck at 60Hz" FAQ

So for some reason, when I run the ufo frame skipping test on my monitor, it says it's at 60hz even though it's at 120hz. I know this to be true because if I plug in my other monitor which is actually at 60hz, I can see the huge difference.

So I'm just trying to figure out why it's saying 60hz even though I'm at 120hz for my main monitor? It's not a big issue, it's just annoying that it won't display that.

This problem has been discussed and there is even a sticky that explains it.
HTML 5 will NOT run at vsync at 120hz on some browsers. it's even on the very first page of testufo itself
*edit* if you are having a different problem, and you are sure that blur reduction is working, make sure you restart your browser or your video driver. even try switching to 100hz refresh rate. Post back if you still have issues. I've usually had issue even at 100hz with the fps showing 60 or 67 (especially 67) until I restart my browser.

[oscarkool]

Yes but it says the browser I'm using (chrome) passes all the tests. That's why I'm confused...

[Falkentyne]

Try restarting the browser if that happens.
HTML5 has had various issues that have been fixed in certain patches then 'broken' again in later updates.
As long as your games are truly 120 fps/120hz motion blur free ur fine.

Please use a search.

It is tempting to use this refrain on many forums, but we have all been newbies at one time or another. So lets just give a link to help out TestUFO newbies: http://www.testufo.com/browser.html - OP, check out the system requirements including having no windows open on the 60Hz monitor in multimonitor mode. Make TestUFO the only window open. and/or try a different browser.

I have an ulterior motive (as any invading UFO alien can attest). I need to create a TestUFO specific forum once the traffic warrants it so I actually encourage people to post as many TestUFO questions as possible.... then I will move all the threads over into a TetUFO forum

Sorry chief. I was sorta in a bad mood (nothing to do with this forum).
OP: did you try 100 hz refresh rate? 100hz should work in every browser.

And yeah testufo is really useful for testing your strobe settings and readability (without having to use pixperan). A forum for that as well as directing people to test the 'street map' moving pictures test as to how real world helpful blur reduction truly is, would hopefully get more people who can visit the users' who have these monitors and see the benefits, onto the better than 60hz bandwagon

Yeah it's weird because it USED to work fine and show me the 120hz last month before I went on vacation. Now I come home and boom, says 60hz lol. But I know its 120hz because I know what it feels like. I tried restarting the browser and all that, having it as the only tab, etc. still just shows 60hz. So It's probably a glitch either on my end or in chrome for now.

Also tried different resolutions at 100hz and 70 hz and 80hz and still same thing, just stuck on 60hz. It's really strange. I'll be building a new PC later this week where I'll get the 144hz I paid for so then I'll update again on that new PC and see what it says.

[oscarkool]

Ok well here I am on the brand new PC I said I'd report back on. Nothing is installed on this other than windows, chrome, firefox and my graphics drivers and monitor set to 144hz. And yet the UFO test is still saying I'm on 60hz, lol. So I don't what the issue is. Every computer I test this on says 60hz even when I know my monitor is on 144 or 120. Any ideas? Firefox, Chrome they all say 60hz. I'm at a loss I just want it to say I'm at 144! lol

[error-id10t]

IE11 does that too.

Someone elsewhere said Firefox 32.0.1 is good and sure enough, this shows rightly and there's a night and day difference.

Unfortunately, it is known that certain versions of Chrome appears to have a bug on this.

Try FireFox, or a newer version of Chrome (e.g. Beta version).

You can also report to Google about the bug at:
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/entry
And then post the Bug # here. Make sure you say you mention the monitor model and and also refer to these:
www.blurbusters.com/faq/120hz-monitors/

And tell them that it worked with 120Hz before:
