UNLOCKING FRAMERATE MAKES GPU RUN HOTTER

Featured Replies

Makes sense, and I don't get those warning popups very often any more after locking.

  • Unlocking the frame rate makes the PC work harder. Harder work means more heat. There must be better things to waste almost four minutes on.

    There's even another cool trick: above the left shift key, there's one with an arrow down. Pressing that again to make sure caps lock is NOT enabled, let the community run cooler ... ENABLED

There are those amongst us, including me, who benefit from being reminded about such things. 

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting.

I enable g-sync and v-sync in the nvidia control panel so fps never exceeds the 165hz monitor refresh on any game. Saves a lot of wasted noise, power, and heat.

In fs2024 I also lock frames to 40 with 2x FG (80 fps) The sim just runs smoother that way.

This is one reason I use RTSS front edge sync:  one can turn the rate lock on and off w/ a keypress.  Very handy when I need to mitigate NV DLSS FG related artifacts while taxiing for example, then once up a few thousand feet can usually lock to 60FPS-fg and enjoy relaxed hardware with zero visual downside.

Are you kidding me? 🙄🙄🙄

Piloting highly complex virtual machines around and even mentioning the obvious - let alone release a four-minute video into the world, as if there wasn't enough chatter already.

Where do these "warning popups" come from? The simulator itself? Some other software that needs to be installed first? :huh:

The simulator itself pops up the annoying announcements.

I have read threads on here where people don't know that they need to plug the HDMI cable into the GPU and not on-board video.. That doesn't mean they are stupid, it just means that they haven't needed to know that before, because it wasn't relevant to their lives. And they come and ask a question/read a thread and learn. Should they be mocked as well? 

I guess everyone mocking this thread was born with deep computing lore embedded in their psyche. You or I may not need this information, but there are those for whom it's interesting. Just seems unkind to mock people who don't know everything about everything.

No one is mocking the thread, not even me.
The 3 minutes and 45 second long video explaining that a device that works harder may well become warmer
is arguably not rocket science.
That's all.

Good job Pilot Pete. Dont listen to these old grumpy men. I may send them to a retirement home soon. No more flight simming for these guys before bed...

ENABLED <--

Not enabled <--

Which one seems more politely? Which one seems to be not shouting?

There is something we used to call common sense.

Not much of that going around these days.
