Eliminate Vsync input lag and increase performance.

[Alio]

Alot of the reasons why people are experiencing performance issues is simply because you're maxing out your CPU and/or GPU by turning off Vsync.. leaving no overhead for more taxing situations that will fluctuate your FPS.

Keep Vsync on (In game-not control panel) and use RivaTuner to cap your framerate to something reasonable that your CPU+GPU can handle. 60fps on 120hz is very smooth. 72fps on 144hz also. You could even bump your 144hz+ down to 120hz and lock to 60fps if need be. Be sure to left click on Framerate Limit after you set your desired framerate to switch to Frametime Limit. Frametime Limit will give you a much smoother experience by controlling the games frametiming to a microsecond of precision.

(One thing to double check is the actual refreshrate of your monitor. It may not actually be 60hz completely. For example, my Zowie gaming monitor uses refreshrates like 143.996hz, 119.982hz, 99.93hz, 60hz, 59.94hz, 50hz. So for me to get a properly smooth Vsync experience on 120hz/60fps, I need to cap my framerate to half of the 119.982, which in RivaTuner is a framerate limit of 59.991)

To eliminate Vsync input lag on an Nvidia GPU you simply enable Nvidia Ultra Low Latency mode in the Nvidia control panel. This eliminates pre-rendered frames that cause Vsync input lag. Other things to change in your control panel would be setting you GPU to maximum performance, and make sure your PhysX is set to your GPU, not auto select.

Now you can play any game you want without Vsync input lag and buttery smooth fidelity.

All Creation Engine Bethesda games are greatly impacted by these steps to provide a much smoother game experience.

Very interesting tips man, I used to know alot about this, but you just raised my level XD

Managed to set up rivatuner, adding game exe, setting fps cap to 59, then swapping to frametime, which auto sets that magic number of 16949.

I see rivatuner needs to be turned on while playing, do you recommend "stealth mode" to ensure it is not detected as anything bad that can cause a ban?

Already paranoid by using reshade and text chat mod, and that "stealth mode" made me wonder about how safe is it hehe. Thx for all tips!

Leave it on medium detection, anything lower and it might not hook to your game and work.

It's 100% safe to use, it's also included in MSI Afterburner.

People have been using this software for almost a decade. :)

Sadly it doesn't fix the server performance.

Unfortunately no, it will not. The only way to improve that is to rent your own server with Fallout 1st.

But this also works for Fallout 4 and Skyrim, so enjoy :)

Thanks for all the tips man! Leaving it on medium detection and stealth mode! ;P

Hey, so I have a 240Hz monitor, switched it to 120Hz and frametime cap to 1666 in RTSS

Vsync on in game, off in NVCP, Ultra low latency mode, etc etc

Still laggy. For some reason I cannot maintain 60fps at all time even tho I ACTUALLY CAN because when my fps are not capped to 60 I always get 80-160fps. And now it drops to 58 which make the game not smooth.

What's wrong ?

Nvidia control panel > Low latency mode : ON > Power management mode : Maximum
Riva tuner (you can do this on nvidia control panel too) > Framelimit : Put your monitor's max. refresh rate

Good to go.

This should be known by every pc gamer by this point, really.

The thing is I followed Blur Buster's tutorial to get the best from my Gsync monitor. Everything is perfect, I handle RTSS perfectly, NVCP is set up in the best way possible, Monitor setting is set up too.

BUT this game man is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful. Tried everything. It is just not smooth at all, no matter what I do, frames drop everywhere. Same issue with Fallout 4.

I am too poor to afford gsync so I dunno.

Wow you just parroted his instructions wrongly to throw that sad attempt at superiority haha

Missed to change fps limit to fps pacing on riva, sth is even said 2 posts above that cant be done in panel lol and also are wrong about using max refresh rate, etc

"Every gamer should know...how to fail" haha

If you're using Gsync then none of this info other the NVCP settings is relevant to you. This is for Vsync users without Gsync monitors.

Have you tried turning down graphics settings? Make sure your GPU is capable of handling the texture setting. 6GB+ VRAM is required for High Textures. Grass Fade has a huge impact on performance and so does Shadow Distance. Object Fade has a slight perofrmance hit as well. Turn these down in that priority until you stop getting frame issues.

However, what you're experiencing is likely server lag/desync problems. Make sure you're on a wired connection and switch servers until you find something playable.

Some servers that have been nuked or been running a long time feel like crap, and breaks AI, looting, etc. Some servers have too many people from different parts of the world connected and it just feels unstable.

If your Fallout 4 runs like crap then you need to make an .ini tweak to the shadow distance. My Fallout 4 runs at a solid 60fps with only a GTX 980 and Ultra settings. The only thing I turn down is shadow distance in the .ini (5000 -10,000) is ideal. I use 5500 and downtown Boston/Top of Corvega never dips under 60.

Hey,

well I did everything you said and the game is much smoother now. I use a RTX 2080 so my settings are :

Texture quality : High
Water quality : High
Light quality : High
Shadow quality : Medium
Shadow distance : Low

and then I lowered the Object fade and Grass fade like you said. Changed shadow distance in the .ini of Fallout 76 aswel.


Much better, not perfect but better. Fallout's engine is garbage anyway but I can play now :)

Thank you

You don't need to edit the Fallout 76 .ini for shadow distance. Use the in game settings of low/medium/high. It's calculated differently comapred to Fallout 4's. I was recommending to you what to change it to on Fallout 4.

i fix my problem, performance problem is Borderless screen!

when u switch fullscreen game start very smooth..

another known problem bethesda so lazy, and game still need Optimization but they not care about..

borderless uses up more resourcess in every game and tends to bring other issues too

[Glitch]

lol. Or they could just allow me to use 4k and change the resolution scale like any decent game from the last 5 years instead of screwing around with settings for an hour which I don't have to do with DOOM Eternal. Good times. Apparently they are still using this engine for future games HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
