Ingame Frame Rate Limiter?

[JudasPhysicist]

Hey a while back the ability to cap the frame rate using Nvidia Inspector was removed. I'm not sure why but you can no longer cap your framerate using that program.

The only other option to cap your framerate is to use V-sync. While I'll admit the V-sync implementation in Siege is significantly better than other games I have played, it nevertheless causes mouse input delay, and you can only cap at your monitor's refresh rate, and I want to cap the framerate at 75 not 60.

Can we get a way ingame to cap the framrate to what we want? Also if there is any other obvious way of capping the framerate I could also use that, but I'm not going to install some 3rd party software risking a ban.

shoulda gone with amd

The day AMD releases some new products that can cpmpete with Nvidia, especially in the laptop market I will consider them. But there is no need to troll.

just saying, I can cap fps in every game with radeon settings

Good for you mate

why would you want to limit the framerate though?

anyway you might be able to do it in the nvidia settings in the 3d section (3d rendering, not 3d as in special glasses/displays :P)

You can in the games .ini file

find GameSettings.ini

find a section that looks like this...

[DISPLAY]
;FPSLimit => Limit the game's fps. Minimum of 30fps. Anything below will disable the fps limit.
Brightness=50.000000
FPSLimit=0

...and change FPSLimit=0 to FPSlimit=90

or whatever you want. (anything below 30 doesn't work, but no one would want below 30 anyways)

I literally asked them on the forums to put a frame rate limiter in the game itself because having a unlimited fps is a bad thing. It can cause all kinds of problems like horrible micro stutter, game crashes, and even network-desync problems.

Shortly after I posted this long post about it they added the limiter to the ini file. It wasn't originally there, so a lot of people don't know about it.

Please set this as your 'answered' post, because this IS how you limit the fps ingame.

Even if you have a really high frame rate, lets say above 150.

If your frame rate is jumping from 150-200 back to 100 back to 150. This can cause really noticable micro stuttering.

This is what was happeneing to me until I bugged ubisoft in the forum to add a limiter to the game. (not sure if it was me that got through to them, but they did finally add one to the games ini file.)

Oh wow didn't know there was an .ini tweak thanks mate I'll try it.

#1 Reason for me is thermals, if the GPU is pushing 100% then it reaches 70 degrees celsius. However if I limit the framerate then I'll be able to get a solid 60-65 degree celsius range.

#2 Reason is like, Crafty stated, stability. If you get a framrate fluctuation of 10-15 frames then it is very noticable. Even worse, the mouse movement in Siege seems to be effected by the framrate from what I've noticed. So whenever the framrate changes I have to adapt on the fly with the mouse.

who tf still use 60hz on modern gaming

Not a lot of people have the money to afford high refresh rate monitors and the hardware to get to those high frame rates. If I were to get a 120 hertz monitor then I'd need to at least get a GTX 1070 to be able to play 120 fps games on it. Unless all I'm playing is CS:GO then there is the added factor that the 120 hertz monitor is probably 1400p or higher, so running native resolution on it I'm still not guaranteed to get the 120 hertz.

The other option is to buy an old CRT monitor with a high refresh rate but low resolution and bombard my eyes with EM radiation.

Yeah I think I'm going to stick with 60 hertz 1080p for a couple more years until today's high end market becomes the default.

So that's 1850 middle eastern fun bucks for me
And a GTX 1070 starts from 3000 fun bucks
So that's a total of 4850 fun bucks

That ♥♥♥♥ ain't cheap round here Mr 1st world country

Still alot for some of us, still going to university and not having that much money to spare, thus i went with a 50€ 75hz dispay, still great coloursafter i changed the bad basesettings and 75hz is enough for now, especially since i get only 90-100fps with my old 750ti gpu, whichwill be upgraded first before i think about changing the display

100 fps on very low? 720p i guess?

768p actually since 720p75hz doesnt work in r6s for some reason, and yes lowest settings but without that weird "rendering at 75% resolution" thing, didnt like the look of it

also the 750ti is overclocked a bit, have to make do with it for just a little while longer, wanted to get a 1070/1060 around christmas new year (or the amd equivalent, mostly looking for performance/money and i dont have a brand preference so theres that)

the 1060 has 80-90 on ultra in siege, so is not bad

honestly i prefer framerate over ultra :P probably would only change the resolution to my native 900p (the reason this display was dirt cheap, noone wants this resolution since its below 1080p, even if its still more than 720p but besides games not much content is made to fit)
still, with the release of the next gen prices may drop on the used market, guess i will have to save up and see what my money gets me
