RadicalAtHeart 11 Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Why do you want 60FPS with this nice game all the time if the game is playable at 30FPS? You will not only save power by reducing GPU usage which would in return reduce CPU usage. Also this will prevent sudden FPS drops due to CPU bottlenecks. They might not cost your life but they are very irritating. Now you can also put your settings slightly higher because you don't have to worry about the fps fluctuation as much. Another reason? Disable VSync. No reason to keep it on. Please note that VSync can also be forced to half the refresh rate in the Nvidia Control panel officially. But this method here doesn't add the potentional input lag. Probably most of you know this tweak already but I am so happy I wanted to share this. If you even feel up to it you can use this together with Virtu MVP in d-mode with Virtual Sync enabled. This way you can have VSync. This is my favorite combination for Counter-Strike Global Offensive. But it is not a permanent solution. If Virtu MVP is discontinued, I am screwed Edited December 12, 2012 by RadicalAtHeart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Charles 22 Posted December 12, 2012 Lolwut, check your eyes, mate. 60 fps is way nicer than 30 fps :eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadicalAtHeart 11 Posted December 12, 2012 I know. But I simply hate my FPS suddenly dropping because I have a weak card. It was a bad move abandoning my HD6950 for a GTX650. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Virtu MVP is discontinued, I am screwed 30 fps will give me a headache quick.. :rolleyes: why not just use the regular control panel panel and under v-sync just select "adaptive half refresh rate" .. no need for the inspector at all.. and arma's engine is SOOOOOO un-optimized that it really doesnt matter what kind of cards you have, you may still get fps issues.. i have 2 gtx 680 sc's, i7 2600k @ 4.9, 16 gig of ram, wd "black" HDD, and if i dont use v-sync i get anywhere from 50 - 250 fps and lots o frame tearing. so i use v-sync in nvidia control panel with trip buffering for smoothest effect but even then get chugging on some maps.. cpu's are a more likely source of bottleneck then GPU in most cases..
