Limiting FPS is games with MSI Afterburner?

Deehjay · 2 Feb 2012 at 20:05

Heard somewhere that you can limit fps in games using MSI Afterburner, but I'm not sure how? I'd like to limit my FPS in all games to 60..
Thanks.

Turning vsync on I believe does that?

Not all games have V-sync though, I need to get a stable 60fps in Minecraft isntead of it going 300-150, it bugs me and I can feel the lag.

You shouldn't notice a change from 300-150? Skimmed through the afterburner manual and saw nothing of FPS limiting?

I do for some reason, it's weird... I get like little lag spikes. It's annoying

Are you sure its due to the FPS?

Is this online?

beejjacobs · 2 Feb 2012 at 20:14

Go to settings in afterburner, click on the on screen display menu bar, look down towards the bottom right, click more. This opens up the msi on screen display settings. Click the spanner icon at top right, fps limiter is in there.

It won't let me click 'More'

For minecraft just download optifine, it adds Vsync option into the settings.

cant you just force v-sync in the gpu dirver if you add the game profile, or globally?

V-Sync does not work in the same way as the FPS Limiter. On the other thread a long argument took place about it, and I am too tired to post it all up again.

Ch3m1c4L · 3 Feb 2012 at 11:00

ah ok, I didnt get that he cared about that from he posted. I know the difference

Witcher1979 · 3 Feb 2012 at 11:03

ah ha thanks for that, I can see the option to limit the FPS now. Will give this ago later when I get home.
