Anyone using NVCP to limit their FPS instead of rivatuner?

Anyone using NVCP to limit their FPS instead of rivatuner?

no

 

[pastymuncher]

I use NVCP to limit my FPS to 141 which is 3 FPS less than my monitor is capable of as recommended for Gsync.

 

[RavenXXX2]

Anyone using NVCP to limit their FPS instead of rivatuner?

Yes with Gsync.

 

[Kelt]

Anyone using NVCP to limit their FPS instead of rivatuner?

Yup, works a treat.

 

[Nexus18]

Cool, was just curious as I always have used rivatuner but read some reports of people saying it can cause some micro stuttering in certain games where as nvcp doesn't and vice versa, found a decent reddit thread on it but a bit outdated now:

I use Rivatuner also, but had to use nvcp for Uncharted Legacy as it was not working properly.

 

[Bill Turnip]

I use NVCP, works perfectly.

Why is it recommended out of interest? I've never seen Nvidia confirm this.

Nvidia also recommends people buy a 4090...

Ah

I only really play single player games and use an Xbox controller, so for me V-sync limit at 120hz is 8.33 ms anyway.

You would have to dig out the old Gsync thread massive info about it. Its nothing to do with Nvidia it was the best option at the time tested by various OCUK forum members I forget who discovered it. The recommended settings were gsync on and set the max fps to 1 below your monitor refresh rate in Nvidia CP, or Riva tuner etc and vsync off in game.

I think you'd be better off using a framerate cap at 117 or so fps. So you never activate v-sync which introduces input lag.

 

[VincentHanna]

As I said, V-sync cap input lag is only 8.33ms which is nothing.

For many years I have also played 30fps console games which means input lag of 33ms and that is noticeable.

 

[stooeh]

I think the input lag will vary by game but the higher the refresh rate the lower it will be. Was a time when I considered 120hz vsync lag unbearable in CS or Quake

 

[brostradamus]

Yup, works a treat.

It doesn't work properly in my case.. i have to rename my game exes to fear.exe for it to work properly on most games. Opengl support is good though
