Locking FPS to Monitor Refresh Rate
Quick Answer: Set FPS cap to monitor refresh rate (e.g., 240 cap for 240Hz monitor). Stabilizes performance.
FPS cap involves setting FPS limit to match monitor refresh rate (or slightly above). A 240Hz monitor works optimally when receiving 240 FPS. Capping FPS prevents wasted frames and stabilizes performance. FPS locked to refresh rate provides smoothest perceived motion.
Key Points
- Align FPS to monitor Hz
- Prevent wasted frames
- Stabilizes performance
- Smooth motion perception
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- No FPS cap
- Excessive FPS beyond refresh
- Inconsistent FPS
