Higher FPS means improved or more consistent frame timing.
Higher FPS means improved or more consistent frame timing.
Consider reducing your frame rate to see if it stabilizes the timing of your frames on your 1440P 144Hz display. Aiming for around 165 FPS should help maintain consistency.
It can improve your frame timing consistency when the cap is set below your usual average FPS. Setting an FPS cap of 165 won’t help much if you usually hit around 150 FPS or less. If you maintain steady performance between 200 and 300 FPS, restricting it to 120 FPS will ensure more stable frame rates.
Is your system facing timing issues? Unless you're heavily CPU-dependent, stability isn't a priority. Thread limits become relevant mainly when processing many threads.
Determines whether the data reflects overall or peak usage per thread. Both scenarios suggest CPU limitations. Examine the frame time graph via the rivatuner statistic server included with MSI Afterburner. Keep an eye on GPU utilization; frequent fluctuations beyond 95% indicate a likely CPU bottleneck.
I adjusted my frame rate limit in Nvidia Control Panel to 150FPS for my 144Hz display. Framerates are now steady at 6.66ms, which lowers the strain on my graphics card and helps avoid seeing high numbers on my monitor. So far, I’m satisfied.
Could be a bit of a strain on the CPU. Please share your processor details. Enable the visuals and try reducing your frame rate to check if it improves performance.
