FPS Cap for smoother performance?

[SqwkHappy]

..I went trudging along some random sim forums to find out how to smooth out TrackIR motion when I ran into people talking about lowering the max frames to your min avg fps so that the CPU has time to catch up with the GPU and each frame is then rendered with a consistent frame delay creating smoother gameplay. So: You sacrifice your higher FPS for smoother ground handling, low alt-flying and overall a consistent game play feel. Something like that, anyway...

 

  Seeing those posts I instantly thought of the jerky physics on the ground without the fps cap, which is where my PC's performance goes all over the place. But then I set the fps cap and was actually surprised how much smoother everything "felt" on the ground. Sure, I lose my max fps of 60 up in the air, but I feel more connected with the smoother game play.

 

 Also, with this setup, I've maxed all of the gfx options and it doesn't make a damn bit of difference in the feel or fps. Also, also, this does help smooth out the TrackIR jerkiness that is annoyingly obvious when the FPS is jumping all over the place.

 

 

 

Can I  get a "the more you know" rainbow ?

I don't think 99% of this forum know what the "more you know" rainbow is. But yes some have been locking frames with success. I've done it myself with pretty good results at times.

Locking frames allows me to fly at a smooth 30 FPS with 1GB VRAM and 2.33GHz. The more you know rainbow applies here

Just try it and saw some improvement with Track-Ir !

I've got mine capped at 55 or 60 too and it smooths things out a lot.

I lock my FPS at 50 and get great performance.

Mine is set to 50 and the gameplay is pretty smooth with TrackIR enabled.

Good post! I've set mine to 30 fps with a 1GB graphics board and have had no micro stutters ever since.

maybe you can find a few answers there...TweakGuides.com - The TweakGuides Tweaking Companion

I used to play capped before summer maps. After that I got stuttering. Now I have every boxed option off and no vsync and no fps limits. Max range and AA. Game is fine now.

 

We have infinite possibilities of hardware and Software combination thus you got to find what works for you. It is a mystic journey to find the truth about your system.

I used locked 60 fps from begining (in campaign also). It is stable with high setting with HDR and SAO on and I have very aggresive antialiasing (super sampling grid x4). The good reason gives me G-sync (v-sync off in the sim).
