No 50hz refresh rate anymore?

[Big Boss]

Hey guys, I was just using 50hz as a refresh option because my pc could handle 50fps good and there were no lag spikes or such in the game noticable then. Now I started the game and only 60 100 and 119 are available. What can I do?

Just use 60, it wont matter anyway.

[Big Boss]

Yes it does matter. As soon as the fps drop a little from 60, it does stutter for your eyes. But when I limit it to 50 it doesnt drop below that for me anymore and no stuttering is noticable

Disable V-Synch

That doesnt fix it. But what could be the reason those options are gone altogether?

Just lock you screen refresh rate to 50 and enable V-SYNC in-game. Solved.

Problem is, my least refresh rate is 60, then 100 and 120. :(

Assuming you have an nvidia card, go into nvidia control panel and set the refresh rate to 50 there.

Have you tried a 3rd party app to limit your frame rate to 50?

wow... you want to lock a game to 50 on a 120hz monitor....ok. Anyway, just use RivaTuner to lock FPS to 50 for GTAV.exe. Then set the refresh rate in GTA to 60hz I guess.

What does 120HZ do for me if I cant reach 120 FPS? The game runs stable with 50FPS with no framedrop and its fluid enough for human eyes, I cant see the difference between 60 and 50 so its good enough.

Lock your frame rate to 50, this will fixit for you

Change it manualy in the settings file?
C:\Users\YourName\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\settings.xml
<RefreshRate value="144"/>
set it to 50 or what ever you want.

It has much faster scanout, meaning that when vsync is disabled it diminishes the appearance of tearing, considerably, even at lower frame rates. It also diminishes the appearance of non engine related stuttering in some cases. 30 fps capped no vsync would look much better on 120hz than on 60hz, believe me.

Also, it has far superior refresh multiple scaling. So where standard double buffer vsync is used, 60hz vsync will drop from 60 fps to 30, to 20, to 15 etc. Whereas 120hz vsync will go 120, 60, 40, 30, 24, 20, 15.

Also, you can use half refresh vsync forced from driver level (standard, not adaptive, you'll need nvidia inspector, so don't use nvidia control panel). So you could run half refresh with 100hz and that will give you 50 fps vsync. But cap at 50 fps with RTSS as well, because it cuts down on the vsync input lag and has better frame pacing in some cases. You can also use 120hz and use one third refresh from driver level, which would give you 40 fps, you get the idea?

The fun isn't over yet: Also, you can create whatever refresh rate you want with custom resolutions in nvidia control panel with a lot of PC monitors. I've had most 120hz monitors would run at anything from 24hz to 120hz. So say you set a target frame rate of 45 fps that you never drop under, then create 1920x1078 custom resolution forced to that 45hz frequency
