You can keep your monitor at 144 Hz, it will run at 60 with GSync on anyway. So you don't have to change your refresh rate when you return to the desktop.

I get it now thank you!

FG can't exceed the HZ of your monitor as it uses ultra low latency mode by default, which SHOULD cap the frame at slightly below the max refresh rate which in your case is 144.

Your G-Sync will only work between 60-144FPS if thats it's VRR range, so, I wouldn't cap at 60, because if you dip just 1 frame below that, G-Sync will disengage and then re-engage, causing a shudder effect. You need some head room, try capping at 65... 

 

However I have a question, if you are pulling over 120FPS, why on earth do you want to cap it? It should be smooth and stutter free, as Noel has alluded to in his post above, the higher the FPS, the less you notice frame time variance. 

Actually i'm happy with my default config but on heavy airports such as Aerosoft EDDF, i'm experiencing really major stutters. I read somewhere ''limiting frames may reduce stutter'', yesterday basically i locked my frames to 60 and monitor's hz to same and mainly stutters gone. That's why i wanted to ask you to find a sweetspot for my config. Thank you for clarifying.

Set monitor at 144Hz, turn on Gsync in NVCP, lock at 60 in RTSS. The whole point of Gsync is that you can leave your monitor at max refresh and Gsync will automatically sync refresh to match fps. 60 fps is NOT a magic number...if you have plenty of headroom set fps at 61, or 65, or 68 - whatever you want the still leaves plenty of headroom for demanding situations without fps dropping below your target. Basically forget everything you've ever read about system settings for folks NOT running Gsync - those setting are meaningless to you because you have the benefit of Gsync.

You can just use nVidia control panel, without any 3rd party app.

The settings recommended by blurbusters and universally accepted as the best, are:

• GSync on in nVidia control panel
• VSync on in nVidia control panel
• VSync off in game
• FPS limited to monitor refresh rate -3 (I limit them to 60 because it's more than enough for FS and to save my ears from the RTX 3090 fans)

 

 

I have a RTX 4070 TI Super and a Samsung 42"  60Hz TV as a monitor.

A few questions please:
In the Nvidia CP I don't see the entry Monitor Technology. I assume that is because my monitor (TV) probably does not support Frame Generation -- true?

For both FS2020 and FS2024 I have Max Frame rate set to 60 and VSync On in the Nvidia CP.
In the sims I have DLSS Frame Generation, VSync and Frame Rate Limit Off.

If I turn on DLSS Frame Generation my FPS drop to half (about 30ish FPS).

Do these settings seem right, or would you suggest something different given my display? Most of the time in game I'm getting between 45 and 63 FPS depending on location.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello, i have been researching the advantages of limiting for a few days but never limited frames before and now really confused applying to my PC.

I turned ON V-Sync both in-game and NVCP. Monitor's G-Sync ON. Locked fps to 60 in NVCP. FG ON. Set monitor's hz to 144. Did i applied right because i'm confused on the setting frame limit option in sim which appears %33-%50-%100 ? Set it to %100 currently. 

Or is it enough to just lock the frame to 60 from NVCP and turn ON the G-Sync?

My specs; 

7800X3D

64GB DDR5 

RTX4070

2K 144hz G-Sync Monitor

The way I have been running my sim for quite some time is Low Latency - Ultra, GSYNC - On, VSYNC - On and refresh rate set to 100Hz all in NVCP (I have a 55" Sony X90J TV). Then in RTSS I limit the fps to 72 and turn front edge sync on as I find this gives me a very consistent frame time variance and a very smooth experience. The reason I have a fps lock is that my GPU sits around 60% and without a lock it will try and hit just under the 100 fps as it is supposed to do and this causes much higher GPU usage, heat & noise. In the sim FG - On & VSYNC - Off running 4K pretty much Ultra settings with TAA or DLSS depending on how I feel and what aircraft I am flying.

About 2 weeks ago I fired the sim up and without doing anything panning and moving the camera about was just horrible, I spent all afternoon troubleshooting with older drivers but nothing worked, I gave up and turned off my PC. I came back next morning and fired up the sim to do some more troubleshooting and everything was back to normal would you believe. No more issues after that until this morning, the exact same thing, I have a solid 72fps and almost flat frame time variance but panning the camera in any aircraft is really horrible, not smooth as it was yesterday. All weekend I have been flying the A350 so I loaded the Fenix just to make sure and even the default Cessna 152 and it was the same. Something must be going on again with Microsoft/Asosbo.

Turned off my PC and went to play with my 3d printer instead.

It's mind boggling how literally every time you bring up this sim you're tearing your hair out over" what's going on now?" Especially, when you haven't changed a thing on your end.

Well it is back to normal again lol

I did update too the latest driver through the Nvidia App yesterday morning but did 3 flights in the A350 without any issues, I also noticed earlier that my DLSS preset setting was not on the latest version but I also tried with TLA and had the same result. The last time this happened was on the day of the latest NavData update, weird but at least I now know it doesn't seem to be anything on my end. 

Just a good old turn it off, leave for an hour and then turn it back on, thank goodness Microsoft/Asobo don't supply software to real aircraft 🤣

You don't see Monitor technology because your TV does not have GSync. Frame generation is a GPU feature, doesn't need to be supported by the display.

It's normal that with FG and a framerate limiter, the real frames rendered are half of the limit setting (30).

Also, the framerate you're getting, between 23 and 31 real fps, is normal unfortunately. FS2024 is very demanding on the GPU.

OK, thanks for the info. I will just turn FG off which gives me a FPS of about 50-60 in most cases and the display seems smooth.

Yes, it may sound silly but really thought 60 is the magic number. Also didn't know what G-sync actually is for before reading what you all wrote on this thread. Locked the frame to 70 now and Gsync is ON. Really smooth and got a nice headroom i believe. Thank you for the help.
