Re: This game needs an FPS limiter

Driver level fps limiters add 1 frame of lag compared to in-game fps limiters.

    Why limit the FPS?


    For a couple of reasons. With Gsync you’re supposed to lock the FPS slightly under the refresh rate of your monitor. The other is for a more consistent feel to the game and run it where your hardware can keep up. No point in running 200 FPS if you’re monitor is only 144hz.

    There’s some exceptions like with the Source engine where FPS can effect the mouse input? This may be a factor for pros, otherwise probably not that big of a deal.
