When I first installed my 6700 XT I set an fps cap in the the Adrenalin driver, but no games I played actually respected the cap until I'd been using it for a few days. Later when I updated the drivers it stopped using the cap again, then a few days later it started working again. Except Starfield, which ignored the cap for the first hour or so before it started working out of nowhere mid session. Computers!

Is there truly any difference in setting a FPS cap in NVCP vs Adrenalin vs SpecialK vs RTSS vs in-game

Cross-Section posted:Is there truly any difference in setting a FPS cap in NVCP vs Adrenalin vs SpecialK vs RTSS vs in-game RTSS and likely SpecialK are not preferable ways to cap frames. Not being connected to or aware of or able to communicate about latency with either of a driver or the game is not ideal. The ideal is a good in-game frame limiter, because it can minimize latency. Driver frame limiters can't predict or control exactly how a game will respond to the driver deliberately bottlenecking it, so there may be a small amount of latency added. You are unlikely to directly notice it, but it's probably worth caring about in competitive games. If you are going to use an in-game limiter, create a game profile to disable the driver limiter for that game, or you may encounter weird issues.

That is where my card whines the loudest, likely because it is rendering at 300fps.

what i usually do is enable it in-game, and if it doesn’t activate g-sync, i just use the nvcp

Unless it's something like a separate launcher (LoL for example), these tools don't know the difference between you being in a game or out of a game, they just see the application running and they cap it to whatever framerate.

is there any reason to allow frame rate to run above the monitor max refresh? wonder why it's not automatically capped to that

shrike82 posted:is there any reason to allow frame rate to run above the monitor max refresh? In some rarer cases, like Fallout 4, the game's loading speed is tied to the frame rate. There are mods to temp raise the cap to 350 FPS (the game does not load properly even if you have the hardware to beat that cap) during loading screens and drop back down to a specified frame rate when you regain contol. That's why it takes forever on console, HDD notwithstanding, and even a while on PC if playing capped at 60. Besides edge cases like that, not really. 3 under max refresh rate to ensure VRR is always enabled is what I have been doing for 7-8 years.

gradenko_2000 posted:(there is a joke going around the community that Starfield isn't on GFN because the Coffee Lake / 2080 combo of the first paid tier would struggle to run it, and even the 4080 Ultimate tier would have a hard time) GeForce Now update: It's So Over     I dropped to the Low preset while inside the ship and the FPS still didn't improve, so I'm assuming the 3.50 GHz of the CPU is really holding it back. This is a case where my actual desktop runs the game better than GFN can still though, this means I could play it on my laptop (or phone, or tablet)

Anyone know how to fix windows lagging on my main monitor when alt tabbing out of full-screen windowed games like starfield? Stuff like discord on my vertical secondary is buttery smooth, but on my main chrome chops around at about 15 Hz as soon as I tab out

That's one of my pet peeves about borderless fullscreen, you can't change the resolution anymore. There's resolution scaling as you mentioned but it's just not the same thing. Perhaps you're on a 4k display and you want to play a game at 1440p because the GPU grunt isn't quite there even with upscaling for example. It's a lack of choice.

Cyberpunk is DX12 and has a full screen mode (that’s still borderless windowed I’m pretty sure) that stretches to your monitor size. Seems like that should be a simple problem to solve.

I have this issue fairly often on my laptop which has a 4K screen but a 3050Ti dGPU with 4GB VRAM. Perfectly fine for 1080p but it's absolutely not a 4K GPU. My solution thus far is to use WindowedBorderlessGaming to fake it.

when i was still on windows i remember using integer scaler and an AHK script that removed borders and resized the window to 1080p, when i needed 1080p for some reason

i think the cs pros all use uncapped frame rates and let their screens tear like crazy. it gives you a slight input latency advantage since newer frames enter the frame buffer mid-refresh and can be at least partially displayed right away. any actual advantage this gives you is questionable, but when money's on the line you take any help you can get. if you're just playing for fun (god forbid), just use vrr and do a framerate cap a few frames under your refresh rate like a normal person

CS2 is adding reflex to shave off a bit more latency without having to resort to tearing pros probably won't change though, just like most of them are still playing in 4:3

Does that actually display faster than it upscaling to at least 1440p in the GPU or monitor? I know that it could if things were implemented that way, but what are the odds that sub-native resolution latency is on the critical QA path for anyone?
