FPS limiter

[SCG_motoadve]

What is recommended?

I have mine limited at 120 fps but in game they never get above 60 fps (Because of the monitor refresh rate most likely).

 

 

What difference will make if I limit it to 60 or 50fps?

 

Also dropping the refresh monitor to 59hz be of any help?

 

Nividia 1080 , i7 440 

All maxxed out smooth , but an sttuter now and then with lots of action AI.

You can try turning off Vsync and see what your results are with regards to the stutter. I get the very occasional stutter while playing during heavy action scenes (perhaps similar to you) and I've been experimenting with Vsync off which lets the GPU render as many frames per second as it can rather than limiting it to the 60hz for standard monitors.

Input lag might increase, but become more stable. Locked at 60 FPS, the next frame will always be 16ms "old" after the one before, but with 120 FPS, the new frame will be only 8ms old, but if your card can't render 120 FPS constantly, the latency between each frames will vary and this might seem like stutter.

 

Limiting to 50 FPS makes no sense, if you can constantly get at least 60 FPS.

 

I would check without VSYNC what FPS you're constantly getting and would then set the FPS limiter one setting below the minimum FPS you're constantly getting. Then you should get the smoothest experience (with VSYNC on).

Using the frame limiter at 60 doesn't work very well for me and results in sub 60 fps most of the time in a pretty powerful PC. Playing in full screen never let my fps go above 60 irrespective of whether vsync is on (this is my monitors refresh rate). Playing in windowed mode appears to unlock it.

 

So I would say best settings are windowless, frame limiter set to off and vsync on.

My PC is 4790k at 4.6 GHz and 2x 980s.

I've got a GTX1080 and run in game Vsync->OFF and frame limiter->OFF then in Nvidia Control Panel I have Vertical sync->FAST.  Seems to work well for me.

 

Oh, I also run exclusive full screen (if that's it).  From what I've heard in other games unless you run exclusive full frame Windows 10 takes control of the display properties at least regarding vsync.

you can only run Vsync Under Fullscreen with DX11
Window borderless and windows desktop always has Vsync on
