fps limiter

[PorkPieCat]

hello, i have a 120hz monitor and dislike vsync/input lag. i read frame limiting is the way to go if you don't want your card at benchmarking temps and usage all the time while gaming.

question is, if i have a 120hz monitor should i limit fps to 119fps, 120fps, or 125fps? 120fps makes sense, but 125fps seems to be commonly used, while i've also read you should limit fps to 1 below your refresh rate. which one is correct? also since i'm using my hd 4000 while my discrete gpu is in RMA, what would the correct limit be for 60hz? (igpu can't do 120hz apparently)

yep, you can use other programs like dxtory or nvidia's in-house program for fps limiting too.

back on-topic, any ideas guys? or at least what do you have your fps limit set to?

thanks.
