Mansen 10 Posted June 24, 2013 Since I am not quite able to get over 60FPS consistently (just under) Vsync is a bit of an annoyance (Since it halves the FPS to 30 constantly) I was wondering if there's an FPS limiter function somewhere? (Such as Max_FPS = 60) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorg_DK 10 Posted June 24, 2013 I get the same. Alt-tab to desktop and back to the game fixes it, so that fps changes between 30 and 60. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mansen 10 Posted June 24, 2013 Fix? There's no fix. Vsync is designed to cut the FPS in half if it cannot receive the FPS it needs to fulfill it's purpose. If you have 65FPS, you get 60 Vsynced. If you have 59, you get 30 Vsynced - Works as designed. Which is exactly why I am asking whether an engine FPS limit exists - some games have them, others don't. And I can't seem to find one in the configuration file, so I'm asking here in case it is hidden elsewhere (if it exists) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doveman 7 Posted June 25, 2013 If you've got an ATI card I think you can use Double Vsync and Triple Buffering in Radeon Pro to avoid it dropping to 30fps whenever it can't manage 60fps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never had a problem where it doesn't work (using a 5870). I use Radeon Pro for that. You can limit fps with that too, if it doesn't work try D3doverider.

Mansen 10 Posted June 25, 2013 Oh really? I learned something new today. Wasn't aware tripple buffering allowed for that. Now since Bohemia use Battleye and whatnot, is it considered safe (and allowed) to use Radeon Pro or D3Doverrider? I'd hate to get banned before the game is even out. :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On my pc fps gets stuck to 30 or 60, but if I alt-tab to desktop after the mission has loaded, fps changes between 30 and 60 as it should. Try and see if it works for you. It's odd it's like that..

Leon86 13 Posted June 25, 2013 msi afterburner has a built in fps limiter, dont know how well it'll work. nvidia has a limiter in the driver too, using nvidia inspector you can set any value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is your setting in CCC for Vsync? On my rig, if I choose "always enabled" or "enabled unless specified by app", I get the FPS stuck to 30 or 60. If I set it to "disabled unless specifed by app", my FPS vary between 30 and 60 as intended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selloh 1 Posted June 26, 2013 For AMD users i recommend ''RadeonPro'' You can limit the FPS and much more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Janez 534 Posted July 12, 2015 With Catalyst version 15.7, AMD users can globally limit FPS. Open AMD Catalyst Control Center\Performance\Frame Rate, tick Maximum Frame Rate, set to a desired value and click apply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brisse 78 Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) I recommend nvidia users to use adaptive v-sync, which automatically turns v-sync off when you drop under your monitors refresh rate, and automatically turn it on again above your refresh rate. AMD users can do the same using RadeonPro, where the same feature is called DVC, or Dynamic V-sync Control. I have tried DVC and it works very well for Arma3. AMD users that does not want to install third party software can instead use the new framerate limiter in Catalyst 15.7. Traditional v-sync is completely useless in Arma3 due to the frequent drops below 60fps. Edited July 12, 2015 by Brisse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PuFu 4600 Posted July 12, 2015 You can use SHIFT & NUMPAD "-"(minus) key then type FPS. It limits FPS to 40, 20, 10 afaik https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Cheats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruPal 143 Posted July 12, 2015 I have screen tearing with FPS limiter. Only v-sync helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ratszo 17 Posted July 12, 2015 The arma console command: " L-Shift + numberpad/minus fps ". Enter once will lock frames at 60; enter twice for 40 & third time for 20 fps. Also, " L-Shift + numberpad/minus flush " will flush the gfx cache. ---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ---------- You can use SHIFT & NUMPAD "-"(minus) key then type FPS.
