FPS lock ?

[Đrake]

Hi,

is there any way I can lock the fps at about 40-50 fps ?
(changing the refresh rate in the menu doesn't help) :D

If you got an AMD Card just set Frame Rate Target Controle to your desired frame rate. I guess NVidia got something similar, but i dont know the name or where to find.

changing your refresh rate to 50hz and putting vsync on should do it.

I tried that but it doesn't seem to work :/

you're playing with both fullscreen and exclusive fullscreen enabled, right?

anyway, if that doesn't work even on excl full screen mode (and that'd be strange), there's Asus Gpu Tweak. safe and easy.

it still goes up to 60 fps (50hz mode) but then there are drops down to 50-55 which cause lags ...
I'll check gpu tweak ;)

but ehi if you're having fps problem you should tune down some option. done that it goes 60fps all the time

If you have an Nvidia card you should also use Nvidia Inspector. Lets you control almost anything, including framerate. http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/nvidia-inspector-download.html

use afterburner, the rtss app that comes with it has that feature and it's better than the nvidia inspector frame limiter.

here's a pic of how its done.

That worked! thx for the tip and the pic ;)
(I didn't even know rtss comes with afterburner)

hopefully the lock makes the game more fluent now ...

Why is that supposed to be better? I'm wondering myself if I should either use adaptive vsync at half-reshresh or use the RTSS limiter. If you use the later do you disable vsync completely?

And why is the RTSS method considered better?

I enabled vsync at 50 fps (locked), works fine with RTSS, but i haven't tried another one so I can only tell you RTSS does its job ...
