FPS Limiter - Coming !!!! ( Nvidia )

I imagine there'd be a few Neil. There always are.

Am I right in thinking the benefit of a frame cap as opposed to v-sync is that there is no need for triple buffering if you're unable to keep a steady 60 fps, making for a smoother transition between framerate changes?

Yep, there are other plus points but this is one of them :cool:
 
So you have to limit your FPS to the minimum (or average?) FPS you get in game to make it work? So in some games that could be very low. Pointless limiting FPS to 60 if you can't get to 60 anyway.
 
Limiting FPS won't stop screen tearing (it may reduce it in some cases but thats an incidental side effect), VSync does this by waiting for the monitor to finish drawing the last frame before pushing the next.

Think I may try this at 45FPS. I get horrible stuttering sometimes even though I usually average 45FPS. I seem to flcik between 35 to 60, depending where I am.

Hopefully we won't have too much of a wait :)
 
ive read the article but if neil sets his fps to 60 in bf3 i guarentee it will dip below ;)

this does not stop tearing on its own either.

it is better to just not add fancy things and play normal at the correct settings to get your "highest fps " all the time.

also this isnt going to happen !

Sorry but you're just made of massive reading fail. Read. The. Damn. Op.

no it is happening but the rest is true. also some say its better some say its worse . the only true way is to do like i said in first place and get the right hardware to be able to run above what you need and not drop below.

argue all you want if

if it was such a better way of doing it it would have been done along time ago ;)

its not a new idea either . its just another option.
 
You're certainly a professional troll, or professionally stupid.

please leave insults out :(

if my opinion is different than someone elses im a idiot :confused: actually read up on what hes on about think about it then ask if its such a better way why havent nvidia done it long ago or ati ?

exactly, thanks for your riveting input.
 
not saying it isnt good just wondered why you would cap to something that isnt possible (neil getting 60 fps constant) . glad to see you understood me in the end :D

i know what you saying about the drop but the actual fps whether seen by eye or not does indeed make a huge difference especially in fps gaming.

100 fps you may not notice the difference by eye but if i can run a little bit faster than you and reload quicker and even fire quicker due to having a higher fps thann a person with locked fps then it is indeed a big deal and another reason not to cap your fps ;) this is why a lot of people dont cap there fps online in fps games .

your basically handicapping yourself by doing this

if you getting constant tearing or other screen issues that sucks and i guess its a help and ill agree to that

Hmmm I don't understand this, are you saying if you can play at 100fps and I could only play at 40fps you would own me at every game? I thought fps would just be smoother, ie if I reloaded the same time as you the time would be exactly the same but yours would look smoother and mine would look a bit jerky but the end result is exactly the same. Or am I totally wrong about that :confused:
 
i would be quicker than you at running and reloading and other things effected by higher fps .

this is why you have high fps in fps games ;)

also all the people on high horses :p this isnt new its been around for years was tried in 2009 as a seperate tool :rolleyes:

It's not that your opinion is different. That would be fine if you were basing it on:

a) Having read and understood what people are talking about in this thread.

b) Had a better understanding of how everything you're claiming to have knowledge of works.

c) Had the reading comprehension of someone above the age of 5.

Time and again people have pointed out to you your misunderstanding and tried to correct it. Each time your response has been a verbal diarrhoea of 'facts' that have nothing to do with the point you are supposed to be replying to. To add to this, you intersperse your spewings with ;) smilies, suggesting that you're making a clever point and know more than the user you're replying to...a huge irony when you don't even know what the poster is saying.

If you want people to get less annoyed with you I would strongly recommend that you take a bit more time to read someone's post before you reply to it. Seriously - when you reach the end of someone's message and you're about to hit reply, go back and read it again. Read it a third time if you're still unsure. Replying with pointless half-correct technical facts that have nothing to do with what the other poster stated in the first place only makes you look stupid and I'm sure you would prefer not to do that.
 

Fairly sure I didn't attack you in my reply?

edit: And you don't seem to have any other posts in the thread as far as I can see.

I've not made any claims about you and Dg being "lovers" and I really couldn't care less if you are. If you have any valid counter points to my above posts (beyond "grow up", which is about as ironic as ;) smilies) then please feel free to wade in.
 
very sad that you cant just argue the point without resulting to insults very childish indeed :(

i understand what was said about the limiter and like said its not a new idea its been around or trying to be done since 2009 ! its not been needed its just a option

if you would have read up on this you would have known this before replaying ;)

capping your fps in fps games is a bad thing.

also all i originally asked is why cap your fps to 60 (to niel79) in bf3 (which he stated was better ! ) when i no he cant maintain 60 fps :confused: this defeats the whole article of what hes trying to achieve !

that is what confuses me :confused:

ill let you get on with it anyway with this pointless arguement :)
 
Pretty needless. As someone who has "gently mocked" Neil for his rants about BFBC2 and lag/etc, even I can see that this thread has nothing to do with that.

I'm sure that Neil didn't have vsync enabled all the time in BFBC2 and now suddenly thinks that he can turn it off and instantly all his issues will be resolved.

Spot on, however I will not push this thread into something which has been discussed to death. I used BF3 as a test example, I could've used skyrim or any other game but at the time BF3 was being tested. I was also not the only person who tested BF3.

I agree with you on that last point. It is a completely pointless argument and it's not like anything any of us say is going to change the sort of person you are.

It can be hard sometimes - you know that you shouldn't take the bait but someone is so clearly asking for it that you just can't resist.
