New NV driver has max framerate setting

Featured Replies

Good news


The Game Ready Driver also brings a few minor improvements. On the one hand, there is the “Max Frame Rate” option, which allows the players – as the name suggests – to set a maximum refresh rate

A couple observations... the lowest it'll lock down to is 40 FPS. Also, the G-sync flicker I sometimes get seems to be gone. 

Why would you need to set a max frame rate if you can just lock the framerate?

5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW  and 2  22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU,  360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next

e.g.

- for Games with problems with more than 60 FPS (all Bethesda games)

- limiting the frames to meet your Freesync Monitor ranges (e.g. 30-60 Hz)

- limiting the frames to save energy because your GPU calculates 200 FPS while you only need 30

- a couple more reasons why its useful and we dont need NVinspector anymore just to set frame limits.

You can use Unlimited with a limited framerate now.

E.g . I use 30 hertz / Unlimited /Vsync which is good everywhere except when I fly to London (TE GB + AS EGLL). Now I can Unlock vsync and limit to 25 in NV CP.

As I too have had very good success running with a native 30 Hz monitor with Unlimited, Vsync and TB in P3D. It will be interesting to see how Unlimited with no Vsync but instead using NV CP to set frames hence shifting the control and valve selected from a Vsync function to the new frame limiter option will perform in a side by side comparison. I’ll have to check this out but as I also fly in VR with Vsync disabled and allow my Oculus headset to control frame rates higher than 30 fps I will have to better understand how to make potential use of this new additional capability.

Are you saying you've been able to set a limit of 25 in NCP?  My 60Hz monitor will only go as low as 40 on the NCP limiter (as Alex noted above).  Just hoping for some clarification to better understand what Nvidia is doing and how.

Thanks,

Greg

Unfortunately, the lowest FPS is 40 ....

I've always been under the impression that P3D will adapt how it renders scenery clarity based on fps & FFTF setting.

Therefore I do not see any benefit in using and external fps limiter.

Just curious, what version driver is that?  I updated the driver a week ago and I don't see that option anywhere.

Wish they had the lowest limit at 30.

Me too. However almost every Game plays at 60-200 FPS. Only the current Flightsims need a max limited framerate of less than 40...

Just be aware that the ESP engine actually changes its "working mode" depending on your settings (e.g. VSYNC, Framelimit inside P3D etc.). Means: while it might look initially nice to have an external limiter back (with NV Inspector you always had the possibility to limit FPS via driver...), it might have adverse effects nevertheless. Turning off VSYNC in your case has the same effect no matter if you externally lock FPS or not, as it changes the way the engine works and the engine is not aware of the external frame limiter...

Means: if the frame limiter of the NV Inspector did not suit you, the frame limiter now included in the control panel will equally not.
