[NFSPS] FPS cap?

Hi!
I tried searching for this, but didn't manage to find anything relevant, which I believe is weird, but meh, maybe it's jsut me.
I just installed ProStreet on my PC, and I've noticed that the game is capped at 30 fps. Verified it with FRAPS.
My hardware is not very new (7600GT as video card), so I didn't even bother trying to play it on max. Played it on decent settings, and got 30 fps. My first thought was that the game was more demanding than I thought, in the end, playing around, I lowered the rez to it's minimum (600*400) with everything set to Low or off, and it still got max 30 fps.
Is this correct? Isn't a 30 fps cap on the low side for racing games? I know that the human eye is not supposed to see past 30 fps, so don't go there lol. It's just something I'm wondering.
Thank you!

Make sure to disable VSync both ingame and externally, using whatever management program you use with your graphics card. VSync limits the frame rate by some arbitrary rule that I can't remember.

Hi!
Thx, I've made sure it's off. IIRC, Vsync syncs the framerate with your monitor refresh rate, which in my case is 70Hz, meaning that having Vsync on should give me till 70 fps, which it doesn't. Weird.

Ah nvm. After reading and doing some more research, it appears that patch 1.1 introduced this 30 fps cap. Dunno why someone in their righteous mind would decide to cap the game to such a low fps...

That's the weirdest thing because I don't have an FPS cap and I'm on patch 1.1. I have never experienced what the other users have complained about so much.

I was using PS on XP with the 1.1 patch and I had the FPS cap. But now I run it on Vista (with DX9) and there seems to be no cappage.

Really? Heh, that's fun. I'm on Vista 32-bit, and I do get the cap. That's EA right there... making a patch that makes it feel it customizes itself depending on the computer lol.

Oh I'm so silly, I actually just tested it and the cap is still there :/

Actually, it may not be a PS version. I run FRAPS v 0.9, and it can get 50FPS... but a friend has the latest and FRAPS caps it to 30.
