What's the point of an FPS cap?

What's the point of an FPS cap?

Some people/games have problems with extremely high fps
Call of duty for example, but in this case some people may need it for a specific reason

FPS cap is perfect to limit screen-tearing when u are NOT using Vsync!
No input lag + no tearing = heaven!

For me personally, i have 1 screen (1920x1200) 24"
So when i cap at 83 FPS the screen-tearing is unnoticeable!

Another tip is to use prime numbers! This is what helped me getting rid of that terrible tearing!

For your convenience, here are a list of prime numbers you can try:
47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97 101 103 107 109 113 127 131 137 139

Have fun

I use an FPS cap of 120 (governed by DxTory).

Absolutely no need to go higher and puts less stress on the GPU.

I used to have 62.5 cap and it worked fine but when trying capping at 60 I get heavy tearing.
I have 1 screen 46" 1920X 1080
No V Sync

Apart from that I totally love AC.

Yes same here, 60 fps cap is unplayable!
For now 83 seems to do the trick for me with this monitor.

 

[xnorb]

There are also some games that let you enable VSync which ends up with 58 FPS and leaves you with the worst tearing ever seen by mankind

60 fps cap will give screen tearing in plenty if not all games. A cap like 64 or 83 helps that. Which doesn't mean that screen tearing can't happen when fps is changing slightly during game time.

That's not true - at least for my setup.

I have an FPS counter running in all games, all the time, and having a constant 60 does not cause any tearing on my HannsG 60 FPS monitor.
Dropping slightly below 60 (down to 57/58) will cause horrible tearing, tho.

I run with no cap, no v-sync and have no tearing...at least i can't see any.

I'm trying that when I come home.

Screen Tearing is EVIL

Yes this is true, but without a cap to FPS your video card will have to work hard!

Why let your card produce all those extra (unneeded) fps? This shortens the life span of the device + cost's more electricity and produce's more heat in your case/room.

I cap it @ 83 because this is what my screen likes best without tearing, for some people 60 works, other's claim Vsync with a cap of 58 is the best thing since sliced bread...

My 2 cents

 

[Msportdan]

just add guys, Kunos are going to patch the current issues woth ABS brakes, epecially on the e30 m3 and the 458 i beleive.

Aris@

No actually there is a much more wider bug with the ABS. Some cars showcase a very bad behaviour like the M3 E30, but pretty much all the cars have gained about 10-15meters in braking distances.

Bug is resolved but I need to go through all the car and we will soon release the 1.2.4, probably by the end of the week.

Thank you for your patience guys and sorry about this last minute slip. We're on it.

When i went on track with the 458 it was a big WTF? the thing just wouldn't stop...

I've been driving the 458 s3 all day without any problems !

Yeah - Tried that and it's butter smooth again

Tried cap it @ 83 !
Still tearing

 

[Michael Hornbuckle]

I turned off the fps cap and turned on adaptive v-sync and now it is perfect.

Try the normal one, first heavy braking zone you will go straight into the gravel...
