Rogue Trader - set framelimit in NVidia Control Panel

[Szataniel]

Trivia:
Unity engine ignores in-game framelimit setting, so GPU temperature and load are very high.

Proposed solution:
Change framelimit for application in NVidia Control Panel.

Problem:
NVidia Control Panel can't add application to it's list automatically or manually, bacause installation folder has comma (,) in name.

True solution without changing global settings:
Go to your Steam/steamapps folder and find manifest file: appmanifest_2186680.acf
Edit it in notepad and change "installdir" parameter - remove comma from folder name and save changes.
Now go to Steam/common and remove comma from game folder name.
Back to NVidia Control Panel and add WH40KRT.exe file manually to list.
Set target framelimit and apply/save changes.

Enjoy normal load and GPU temperatures.

Well I'm going to test it as soon as my language is properly traduced to 1.2 but if it really helps that's a blast.
I'm having this recently debunked 40xx series bad thermal paste issue and limiting the in-game framerate was already reducing the load on my GPU.

Can you confirm the difference is substancial between ingame v-synced 60 fps and nvidia limiter ? I'll give it a try when the heatwave finally goes off.. Thanks for sharing your solution !

Edit : if you have tested, is it better to keep ingame limiter or setting it off to let NVCP full control over the framerate ?

Yes. On My Zotac GF RTX 3070Ti MSI Afterburner showed ~90% of GPU load, temperatures ~80 degrees Celcius and fans worked almost on max speed. After doing described trick GPU load decreased to ~70% in crowdy places, temperatures are stable ~62 degrees Celcius and fans are working with normal speed without annoying noise.

not working

are you sure? it doesn't look like to me.
I configured 73fps (half my monitor refresh rate) and the game respects the limit

If it works I'm sorry, it's just that when it comes to removing the comma so that Nvidia recognizes the game you have to turn off Steam, change it and turn it on again

not every configuration suffers because of described problems. for example my PC does but on my laptop runs great and without high temperatures. but Unity is well known of this issue. look on reddit or games devs forums.
