Hey, I'm looking for a reliable way to cap frame rates across all games to match your monitor's refresh rate. You've got an Asus PG279Q with G-sync and a GTX 780 that supports it. Everything else is brand new—i7-6700K, 16GB DDR4, etc. Right now you're hitting over 144fps, especially in titles like Bioshock, but you still get screen tearing. You mentioned hearing about MSI Afterburner, RivaTuner, and Nvidia Inspector as options for FPS locking. I haven't found an updated version of Inspector yet. What's your approach? Do you usually let the screen tear or try to limit G-sync frames?

Review the config.ini files for a frame limit specification. Enter 75 and save. Consider exploring EVGA Precision options.

Some games don’t need config.ini files, so it can vary. I’ll check if Precision offers any settings.

They need to adjust it to 120hz probably.

No, it doesn't reach that level.

If you're seeing tears, consider reducing the setting to a level below your lowest tolerance to prevent further damage.

Yes, even with G-sync support, your monitor might still display frames below 144Hz.

Check the monitor settings to confirm G-Sync is activated for smooth panel stabilization.

G-Sync is activated through the Nvidia driver, and DisplayPort with 144Hz support is enabled on the monitor. It seems to maintain performance above 144Hz, though noticeable screen tearing occurs during higher refresh rates like in Bioshock.

OH! You want to cap the maximum value. The Frame Rate Target feature lets you set a specific number, like 165, as the upper limit.
