FPS cap

[Hhorde]

Everywhere i go I atleast get 31fps + when i'm not in towns and such i get a perfect 60. I'm wondering if there's a way to cap the FPS to 30 so I don't see the frame drops from 60 to 35 every once in a while?

Not possible, just stop paying attention to your FPS.. or turn it off.

There's a big difference when you're playing at 60 and you turn and it drops so much even though you're not going below you're still getting major spikes that hurt your perception of vision. I'm doing this so it's always smooth not just cause I want to have perfect frames.

If anyone on this thrad wants to know how to do this I just found out. Run a program called Dxtory(A recording software) You can get a trial online. Go to the advanced tab and set Limit FPS to 30. The game runs smoother than butter now and I'll probably play this a lot more now that there isn't fps drops.

You can also use the NVIDIA contol panel to set the v-sync to half your refresh rate ie 30 fps on a 60hz moniter, This also means you dont have to run another program in the background. Also if you use any temp monitering software like msi afterburner or evga precision x they have a framerate target option and you can set that to 30fps. Hope this helps :D

No one needs dxtory. We have shadowplay, nvinspector and other apps that do a far better job. If you want to cap your fps that's not how to do it. You have adaptive vsync in Nvcontrol panel also, which you can set to half refresh if you really want 30fps, though why you would is beyond me, or anyone really. Games do not run smoother at 30fps. Literally impossible, placebo effect of some sort due to a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ monitor or just your eyes/perception..being somehwat different to most people

If the framerate is capped at 30 fps it will allow his eyes to adjust to a constant fps instead of being able to see the drops when he goes into a town. When he says the game runs smooth as butter he is meaning the drops are no longer there so he is able to have a consistent experience.
Also casual gamers (not saying the OP is) who come from console are used to sub 60fps ie 30fps capped games and feel that they are smooth enough and would prefer a constant 30 fps rather than a variable 60 then 40 then 50 then 30 framerate. NO FLAMERINO :D

Can Confirm not a console gamer. Been using PC for such a long time I'm used to 60+ fps. So you can really see when drops do happen. If you don't understand basic perception it's all good. Also I say Dxtory for that's the one I used, there are more methods but that's the one that worked for me. Good job to the fellows giving other options thanks guys :D

for amd users download radeon pro. you can cap the fps.

for nvidia users download nvidia inspector. you can also cap the fps here

DXtory is more used for streamers and the like though
