May 18, 20251 yr Here's the scenario: MSFS 2024 Using Riva Tuner for FPS cap Not using Frame Generation 60 Hz monitor refresh rate With fps capped at 60, I can pan the camera around and everything is smooth. No bumps, no stutters. When I lower the fps to 55 in Riva Tuner (in an attempt to get a little more headroom for high-demand scenarios), there are regular (rhythmic) bumps when panning around. In fact, setting the fps to anything below 60 fps brings on the bumps. They are totally absent (smooth panning) at 60 fps, but even at a cap of 59, they are there. The bumps get worse as the fps cap goes down from 59 to 55. Interestingly, the bumps are invisible on CapFrameX, so they are not stutters; the frame rate stays solid without any drops. If it's not a frame rate drop, then I'm wondering if it has something to do with the monitor refresh rate (which is 60 Hz) or something like that. Any ideas? Edited May 18, 20251 yr by prolixindec
May 18, 20251 yr I guess your monitor is a fixed refresh-rate one, or you have G-gync disabled. If so, that behavior you see is expected, unfortunately. That's why people tend to set the framerate to the refresh rate or a divisor of it.

May 19, 20251 yr Author My monitor won't let me set the refresh rate that I want (it's a hardware limitation, I believe), so I abandoned this idea and went back to a 60 fps cap. Everything is smooth once again.
May 19, 20251 yr If you have Lossless Scaling, you can try locking your FPS to 30 and then applying 2x Frame Generation in LS.

March 24Mar 24 Try toggling dynamic settings to on and capping that and your frame rate target at 60. Not sure the logic behind this, but it seemed to improve my camera pan stutters. If it doesn't work for you immediately try and lock them both at at value in tandem.
