Avoid limiting frames to ensure uniformity.
Avoid limiting frames to ensure uniformity.
I previously experienced overheating on my old Athlon X4 750k and R7 360 when running unnecessary frames in high settings (90+). To avoid this, I usually limit frame rates to around 60fps in almost every game. I also observed that frames consistently stayed at 60 unless a menu opened or sudden events occurred, which would trigger a map switch. With my newer build, the frame rate fluctuates every 10-15 seconds, leading to stuttering performance regardless of the cap setting. Whether I set it to 30, 60, 80 or another number, the frames still drop and reset. Ryzen 3 1300x XFX RX 560 4GB
Capping the frame generally improves frame time in most situations. It might also address throttling issues you noticed every 10-15 seconds.
If your CPU or GPU slows down during gaming, it's often due to overheating.
However, they stay below 80°C during monitoring with Radeon Settings (GPU) and Ryzen Master (CPU).
It seems unusual, perhaps you could attempt this alternative? The link provided offers guidance on low lag vsync. It usually works well, though results may vary.
