FPS Lock

[Ibuprofen]

I maxed out GTA V and still got 90 FPS. But my game tends to sink to 60 from time to time. This produces a wierd feeling especially when aiming. Also my graphicscard needs to be on 85% cooling all the time to stay below 70 °C. Would be far better if it could run on a lower framerate.

So anyone knows a tweak to force it down to 60 FPS only? And I don´t mean Hz, that is not affecting the graphic´s card framerate.

Enable VSYNC

Hz is affecting the framerate

VSYNC does not smooth the framerate, it just cuts it almost in half to bring in the vertical and horizontal framerate together to eliminate those gaps which can appear. That is not even close to a solution like framerate lock.

No it´s not, mine is on 60 hz, my framrate still is on 90. Hz is the unit for the monitor signal. Not the rendering speed limit.

People below 14 and those who don´t even know ♥♥♥♥ about grahpics and computer systems, please stop to write nonesense solutions.

If you're using an Nvidia card, open up your NVidia control panel, goto Manage 3D Settings and select the GTA5.exe file. At the bottom of the options, you'll find Vertical Sync, put it on Adaptive mode.

This will force your Vsync only to function if your FPS goes over 60, if it's below that it won't turn on.

We are just trying to help you man. Nobody is forcing you to use our advice. Have fun figuring it out for yourself then.

Back on a serious note, there is no actual frame lock option in-game. One thing you can do though if you care to take the (small) effort is install MSI afterburner.

Once you have done that, go to the on screen display manager (OSD lcon in your taskbar) go to properties or settings and set a max amount of frames. This will limit your FPS.

That´s a solution, but I would still prefer a good working lock in the config files. I´m sure there is a command for the config to work with. Normally every bad programmed port (GTA is not one of those) has an FPS lock somewhere.

If you have a nvidia card then,
you can download a small program called nvidia Inspector.
Using that you can lock fps, some values,30,35,40,45,50,55,60, etc.
Also if you wish you can use it to lock vsync .

If you don;t have nvidia then I would use "MSI afterburner"

Sadly nvidia inspector just gives me the option to limit it to 20,30 and 40. That´s to low. And if I type in a number and save it, it does not work...

You could still use MSI afterburner, that lets you set any frame rate.

i use the fps lock in evga precision x 16 program along with adaptive vsync. i prefer it to msi afterburner. but with that combo I have no stuttering or screen tearing and my fps ranges from 51-60 and it's stays at a pretty constant 60 most of the time. foilage and landscapes in rural areas drop it to low 50's but I don't notice it unless i have a fps counter active, its still so smooth

Got Nvidia Inspector working, had to fill in the HEX number. Thanks for those who tried to help me. Game runs at 65 fps now and my graphic card keeps cool as it should.
