Any way to lock FPS at 60?

[בתאניה]

Im getting a ridiculous 6000fps making my GPU do the coil whine thing, not sure if thats good. I don't see any graphics setting options in the menu.

well for one thing you should have a global cap in nvidia control panel or the amd equivalent, that way no game is gonna go over that cap and shorten your hardware's lifespan, basic stuff

second thing is you can simply cap it in for that specific game in nvidia control panel or amd equivalent or a third party app like rtss

well that's just not true, in many competitive games you want to exceed the fps over your monitors Hz, to smoothen out the gameplay and reduce input lag, unless you use g sync + v sync.

Use RivaTuner and type 60 in frame rate limit

not by 6000 fps

you're getting severe diminishing returns after 144 fps

Im playing on Linux, could be related, hoped we could cap it in launch options if there is no actual menu to lock it to 60. ..im playing on a 4k 60hz monitor. Linux has no graphics card control panel.

Actually there might be, mangohud has some options in it, maybe there is one to cap the fps.

i am on an rtx card so i used the NVIDIA control panel to do it

[P0RTAL]

use nvidia panel to activate Gsync and vsync , the game will be capped at your max Hz of your screen , in my case 120hz 120fps all the time

Mangohud works, just tested it, have to open gooverlay and then in the performance settings lock it to 60 or 30 or whatever, thanks for the reminder I forgot it had an FPS limiter.

Forcing Vsync will fix it.

Doesn't turning on vsync cap the fps?

VERY limited GPU options on Linux, there are no control panels and such for AMD(7900XTX in my case, since AMD works better in Linux in my experience). But mangohud did the trick using the go overlay control panel for mangohud it has a performance tab that can do all kinds of handy things.

Use rtss.

On a 144Hz display it most definitely wont. Having a manual cap of 30/60/90/120 these days is basic QOL stuff.
