[SOLVED] Vertical Sync Settings not Working Exactly

[The Giving One]

Hello,

I searched this forum before posting, but could not find anything related to my issue exactly. Maybe you guys can help, please. I have tried forcing Vsync in Nvidia Control Panel settings to half refresh rate and in the game setting Vsync on and off also, but nothing seems to change my FPS in the game to what I would like.

What I am trying to do is limit the game to run at 60 FPS. I have a 120 Htz. display, and the game just won't seem to run at my desired 60 FPS. It stayes locked at 120 constantly.

This is not really a problem, of course, since it matches my display rate, but still, my GPU is running harder and I would prefer to lower the rate really.

Has anyone managed to figure this out if they have the same preferrence in the game ?

My GPU is a 980 Ti so it handles the game fine and I would really love to be able to lower the FPS if I can. Thanks, and I love the game for sure !

Just a suggestion. You can go to your Windows Display settings and set the refresh rate for the monitor to be 59 or 60, that could fix it.

It's under "Display Adapter Properties" in Windows 10, im assuming in 7 and 8 aswell.

I am a complete noob. Your suggestion is amazingly simple and just might work.

I thank you so much for your reply to this, as I was starting to think I would find no help or solution to this issue.

I have to go out now here, but I will try your suggestion ASAP, when I come back and update the thread.

Once again, I cannot thank you enough for simply replying, as well as posting a great idea. Thanks.

UPDATE

You have just made my day here. I guess originally, I assumed that Nvidia control panel sttings would override the game or Windows settings, but of course setting the diplay to 60 Hz. totally makes sense, and did indeed work.

What I did was follow your suggestion above, then go back to Nvidia control panel, and set the game there to use the game's Vsync setting.

Then in game, I set the Vsync to "on". Instantly, even in the launcher menu screen, the game started running at 60 FPS, nice and smooth.

I loaded up my save, and confirmed this in the game itself. Nice and easy 60 FPS. My GPU now shows using about 35% as compared to the near MAX usage I was seeing before. The fans even cannot be heard now, due to these changes.

I really appreciate your time and suggestion, as I can now play this game without the concerns I had. THANK YOU !!

Yeah dude, no problem. I figured that might work.
