How can i play with a 144hz monitor without the game speeding up?

[WaR]

Hello, i recently purchased fallout 4 and it seems like i'm unable to play it past 60fps without the game speeding up, is there any current fix to this?

If i play with 60fps i have severe input lag, almost unplayable, if there's no fix is there any way to eliminate input lag with my monitor?

Thank you!!!

Setup:

Monitor - MSI Optix MAG27CQ 1440p 144hz
I7 8700K
GTX 1080 TI
16GB DDR4

Try going into your Nvidia control panel, then [Display], Change Resolution and set your refresh rate to either 72 or 100Hz. See if that helps.

I tried that, unfortunately it was still sped up :/ I even set it to 60hz and the input lag was horrible.

Thank you though!

I don't really have a solution but I play on an Asus MG279Q 144hz on an R9 390 and it runs fine. I don't get a constant 144, obviously, but I hover the 100s and the game doesn't speed up or slow down depending on the frame rate. I have no mods installed. I am playing borderless windowed.

Now I thought speeding up usually occurs on games that have sprites, not models and textures. Think of "Don't Starve Together"; it has to be locked at 60fps otherwise it will play too quickly.

I have a 144hz Asus with a 1080ti and I use Adaptive (half refresh) in the nvidia CP for the fallout4.exe and fallout4launcher.exe files. Runs perfect.

That's what i would have thought, anything above 60fps usually speeds up sprites but for some reason fallout 4 speeds up for me, i've googled it and apparently their game engine is tied to FPS.

My nvidia control panel doesn't seem to change anything for me, even turned VSYNC on and nothing changed.

When using V-sync; the monitor's refresh rate is used as reference when trying to synchronize the engine processing and the screen's refresh rate. Since your screen is that fast, you will experience serious input lag.

Turn it off at both NVIDIA control panel (use a custom profile for Fallout4.exe) and in fallout's ini setting. Then use the NVIDIA control panel again to set

- triple buffer on
- max frames render ahead to 1
- frame rate limiter to 60.

and in fallout4 - and falloutPrefs ini files, ensure that iPresentInterval = 1

There is no fix for that, play it with 60 fps, otherwise the game will speedup no mather what you do.
Because the Physics/Engine are/is tied to the framerate, dont ask why - nobody knows why.

this worked for me using nvidia panel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA6_HYgMSz0

The engine does have additional troubles with high fps beyond just the speed up.

There are mods that will fix the speed of the physics BUT the engines scripting pipeline is tied to fps as well. Basically if you double fps you also half the time the engine has to run it's scripts.

And this will negatively effect the games stability.
