CA, please cap the main menu FPS at 60.

[Jimmy]

There's absolutely no pointing in running GPUs at higher temps just to render a main menu.

[Eldi]

A cap in the options for the whole game would be even better.

Feels weird not having one these days.

If your monitor uses 60 hz, you can use v-sync.

Otherwise, you might go to GPU config to selected app to framecap 60 fps.

Just cap your framerates via the GPU to 60 fps, job easily done, and it only takes seconds

No, I don't want to cap my FPS in-game because I get 100+ FPS in every battle, I only want it capped in the main menu like they do in many other games to go easy on the GPU

Rendering the menu at 100 FPS won't really be hard on the GPU anyway.
Other games have caps for just the menu?

My main menu is running at 160+ FPS and it puts my GPU load at 90% by rendering absolutely nothing. It's just a waste.

Yeah, a lot of them do. Counter-strike for example. It's really not a hard thing to implement

[Elitewrecker PT]

Mm never played one with separate caps personally.
Then lock the global framerate to what the battles or campaign gives (since campaign is usually the more demanding in this case after all)

Set in the GPU settings the upper limit for the refresh rate to match your monitor. (maybe little bit more, example: your monitor is 90 hz, so you set your refresh rate to 100, problem solved.

I think you misunderstand friend, I don't want it matched to my refresh rate. I have a 165hz screen and I don't need the main menu to run my gpu at 90% by providing 160 frames for nothing, I just want it capped separately at a lower FPS.

fun fact i did but the main menu still 144 fps XD , it only goes to 60 fps when i'm in battle or campaign map main menu alwayás goes to 144 fps

[Elitewrecker PT]

I have mine locked at 60 in the nvidia control panel and main menu caps at 60.

[SpeaksTooFast]

I also have it capped @55fps on my end. Would be nice if there was an in game option but I feel like cooling management is almost an in game mechanic for this entry.

[Naustghoul]

them capping the UI menus (and possibly the campaign map) I think would go a little way to saving the poor GPUs out there.

+1 to the OP

[Ryeloc]

They should add FPS caps, for the menu / map / battles. I use AMD and enable / disable chill during battles... it keeps GPU temps way down since even the overview map will run at 144FPS

i use amd chill mode , but seems main menu doesn't get chilled XD .

might be only for amd users though . not the biggest issue for me though . moment i go to campaign map it's capped at 60
