How do u force skyrim to run at 60 fps?

[shwambam101]

I have a 144 hz monitor and the game is automatically running at 100+ fps.

Unfortunately the game is very glitchy and i need to cap the framerate at 60.

Any suggestions?

Did you try Vsync in the skyrim launcher? Or did youforce vsync in your graphics card control panel?

Turn down the refresh rate of your monitor. VSync or Vertical Syncronization matches the refresh rate of your monitor.

open up your gaphics cards control panel and force vsync on skyrim.

Open one of these threads, see if something works for you.

You're missing the point. If he has a 144Hz monitor, Vsync will link to that refresh rate, not just to 60. He either needs to lower the refresh rate of his monitor or get the FPS limiter mod that grimus linked to. The mod would probably be the most convenient as changing the refresh rate will mean going into his graphic options every time he wants to play, then switching it back afterwards.

go into your skyrim folders go into enblocal.ini and change FPS limit to 60.
also make sure you get the ENB modification from the official website ;) HF

Search for 'Skyrim Frame rate Limiter' and set the cap to 60 FPS.

I know this is ages old but what if your control panel doesn't let you change Skyrim's settings because it doesn't recognize ANY Steam games? I can't do it through the monitor either cuz i have other games that run amazing between 70 & 144hz

Use MSI afterburner. NVidia inspector doesn't always work (profiles are wonky with some cards). Afterburner uses RivaTuner server, in which you can precisely point to tesv.exe and cap your fps.

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display > Screen Resolution > advanced settings > monitor tab. select the screen refresh rate that you want. I would copy and paste the display folder path into start up items so it runs each time you restart your computer since I expect I'd be be changing it regularly.

Use HDMI instead of DVI-D or DP. Only 60Hz supported!
