Radeonpro does have frame limiter mate, it's called Dynamic Framerate Control.
Set the vsync to double and then enable dfc and set it to 60 or 120 and enjoy even smoother game play

Didn't know about that, thanks, handy to know as there are a few titles locked@60 fps, no choice but to disable it sometimes for 120Hz.

What about if you want it to set to 58fps and for vsync to never disable. Is that possible? Cos when i tried it, it didn't work. FPS stayed at 60.

Sure this method isn't dynamic vsync. Enable double vsync then under Dynamic Framerate Control set 58 :-)

Nope, doesn't work. Next! Frame rate was at 59.9-60.

You might need to enable normal vsync then not double or dynamic.

Always on doesn't work, and neither does dynamic. Until it has an fps limiter rather than DFC then i won't switch. All DFC does is disable vsync when fps drops below a certain number which you specify. It does not lock the fps to a certain number.

Try driver default, then set 58 and disable in game vsync does it work then?
DFC is a frame limiter. I like using double vsync and set DFC to 60 this feels best to me.

No, doesn't work. Show me a screenshot of a game menu, sleeping dogs for example where you have limited your fps using RadeonPro only to 52 fps.

Did you create a profile or are you using the global setting? I will try to copy your settings. Are you on windows 8?

I see you said 52 here another screen shot.

Yeah it doesn't work. I've no idea why, copied your settings exactly. I loaded sleeping dogs and disabled vsync after doing all that and fps went up to 120, so it doesn't look like its working at all. I give up, spent ages trying to get this working last time.

This is a fresh windows install as well, only did it a week or so back. I'll go back to msi afterburner fps limiter.

That is very strange mate?? maybe try removing RadeonPro and re-install? not sure why it not working for you.

You have other programs running in back ground maybe conflicting with RP?

tommybhoy · 17 Jan 2013 at 15:21

Thanks shankly.

@Matt, you haven't got any other tools on automatic startup like AB/Riva overriding Rpro have you?

I disabled afterburner before my final attempt and left just fraps running, still didn't work. Have you got it working as well tommy?

My guess matt you have something conflicting with RP. Try this in RadeonPro settings and sounds enable one for profile loaded and one for profile error. Start up a game and listen for the sound and see if the profile is in fact getting loaded.

I don't see a settings and sound option?
