Are there any recommendations for the best FPS limiters? I'm currently using AMD FRTC, but I've heard it can introduce significant input lag. Is that accurate? Should I consider RTSS instead? Because I want to enjoy Freesync and my monitor range is between 48-75Hz, yet I'm experiencing around 80+fps in max settings. Unfortunately, some games don't have FPS limiting, so I need a tool that caps FPS while minimizing input lag.
Do you mean activating v-sync? Many titles offer this setting.
Initially V-sync avoids input delay, and additionally it caps your frames per second according to your monitor's refresh rate. This means if you usually achieve over 80 FPS and enable v-sync on a 75Hz display, your actual FPS becomes restricted to a maximum of 75. From what I understand, Overwatch includes a v-sync (vertical sync) setting. I’ll point you to the discussion here: https://eu.battle.net/forums/en/overwatc...7612021168
The maximum frames per second aren't a restriction; higher FPS generally improve quality. This video clearly covers the topic and is under five minutes. V-sync can add some delay, which is discussed around the two-minute mark.
I have extreme difficulty believing this video. In his experiment, his only results were that it "felt" smoother. It contradicts other experiments that have been done. In the video a few years ago, Linus tested to see whether his staff could notice the difference between 60 and 120 fps hz and many people couldn't tell the difference. There is a legitimate reason to limit fps. Assuming OP can't tell the difference, limiting FPS reduces needless electricity draw and heat generation.
That's correct, but the way Op framed it suggested he believed he required the highest possible 75fps while his display could handle up to 75hz.
Make sure FPS stays capped for proper free sync functionality. Your options are: FreeSync + VSync, FreeSync + Frame limiter, FreeSync + Enhanced Sync.
