Nvidia 60fps clock speed target

[scorchedbee]

Now I know the title is misleading... but what I'm asking is this

I have a second hand alienware 15 r1 laptop with i5 and a 970m, its a lovely machine and I have just been playing bf4 on high settings with an average of 98fps.

my question is, is there a way to limit to the fps to 60 with NVidia dynamically adjusting the clock speeds/voltages etc so not to waste power and save the demand on the internal cooling? So when I'm playing games if the frame rate is 80-100 it will limit the gpu so it only kicks out 60fps?

I'm sorry if I haven't explained this all that well

Yes, you can install MSI Afterburner which uses RivaTuner Statistics Server. On RTSS there is an option for Framerate limit.

Turn on adaptive V-Sync (unless you actually like 60Hz V-Sync and the extra input latency if the framerate falls below 60), set 60Hz refresh and make sure that in the nVidia control panel power management is on adaptive (or optimal but personally I find optimal is a little glitchy).

so, I'm rivatuner I have limted my frame rates from 98ish to 60, and screen tearing is horrendous?

also the gpu runs at same clocks and volt so same temps? have I missed something obvious guys?

thanks for your help

Experiment with different limits around 60 to see if there is one without tearing. Some people use 59, some use 65 etc etc

Clocks and volts wont change unless you change them in AB by under clocking. However GPU load on the GPU will have dropped so temps will drop.

ah 59 works a charm in bf4 and temps have come down on both cpu and gpu by around 10 degrees which will help in the laptop

thanks guys, top help
