Command for limiting fps

[UrbaN]

Can I put a command at launch options bar thingy? To limit my fps to 40, because I read that some people have stuttering when its 60 fps, so limiting it to 40 fixes it. Help?

I'm in need of a frame cap here as well, though its entirely for a different reason (DX is reporting huge FPS numbers, but at the cost of VERY hot GPUs)

Any launch options? Or user config file?

download msi after burner and you can limit the fps with that

So why gimp your video before you try?

I don't have any video stuttering or lose of FPS at 60hz or 144hz (and throughout gaming history on the PC the root cause of this is almost *always* these people have far too many background processes going, though they'll always deny it).

Again, why not try 60hz instead of reading into the complaining about it. I understand you're not complaining but seriously, just give a whirl first.

yes you can and you dont need afterburner!
create a commandline.txt file with notepad and put it in GTA 5 root folder
and add this line in side it

-frameLimit 40

Hmm... not working for me. seems to have bogged things down a bit.

my bad, forgot its tied to your refresh rate so use this in the command line.txt
for 40 FPS

-refreshrate 40 -framelimit 1

Some people have studdering at 60fps because their PCs arent powerful enough. Lowing settings and disableing V-sync will actually help the issue.

BTW setting GTA5.exe to high priorty fixes the shuttering for me

Raz, for clarification (since I am not having the same issues as the OP): The Refresh rate is the same as the refresh rate set in the game? (on mine it says "59" for a 60hz monitor) If so and if I am not looking to change the refresh, a "-framelimit 1" should do? FYI, I'm seeing Hardware Monitor report ~304fps at *nearly* all full settings on a pair of EVGA 780ti Classifieds in 2-way SLi... and they are parked at ~90C, 100% fan, 100% usage the whole time. I will usually set a frame limiter to 2x my monitor's Hz when I find a game running too fast.

anything that isnt 30-60-90-120 etc. usually feels laggy as ♥♥♥♥.. so prepare yourself :D

This works for me with 60fps. Might sometimes vary upwards one or two FPS though.

That depends on the game (or engine). GTA looks good with 45ish fps. Way less laggy than 30.
And if they stay stable (so no jumping from 60 to 50 and back) it's even better.

OMG that logic

-refreshrate 60 -framelimit 1
This worked perfectly. I deactivated VSync and my monitor runs freesync
