Blur Busters Forums

So using gsync in halo infinite, and every single type of frame cap causes stutter. In game, all 4 rtss options and nvcp all will make the game stutter at whatever cap you set, and will cause your frames to tear at the bottom. Not sure if this happens in all games or is a halo thing. Vsync on top will just make the stutters worse because it’ll be the whole frame and not just the tear.

So was wondering if anyone knows a way to soft cap, sort of the way front edge sync says it will let more frames build, but a lot larger, where maybe it’ll slow down the render rate as it approaches the cap rather than hard stopping it? Idk trying to think of a way to fix this.

I figured it out btw for anyone looking to fix halos VRR problem
Go to C:\Users\***\AppData\Local\HaloInfinite\Settings And open the speccontrolsettings file. Change your MINIMUM FPS to the gsync recommended cap, uncap your frame rate. Then in game, raise your render resolution until the game can hardly get you to your frame target. For my 240 hz, I have it at 237 now. This stops the game from ever hitting a cap and stuttering, but also if your render resolution is high enough it wont ever actually hit your hz. Might need a little bit of breathing room if you want to guarantee it never tears but this is even smoother than gsync + vsync was since that would stutter nonstop.

Try disabling all external FPS limiters, disable in-game vsync, force nvidia panel vsync, and use the in-game FPS limiter.

If that won't help, nothing will

Simple rule is if a game stutters with G-SYNC, V-SYNC and FPS limiters disabled, it will still stutter with any combination of them enabled, so the question is it still stuttering for you with all of the aforementioned disabled?

Stutter is primarily caused by one or more frames taking longer than your target average to render and/or display, and that's going to ultimately happen due to one thing or another in virtually every game you play, regardless of configuration.

I played Infinite on release, and it certainly wasn't stutter-free, G-SYNC, V-SYNC, FPS limiter, or no.

It can be completely stutter free in a local game, like academy. Gsync works, scanline sync works, etc. But if you go into a custom with bots or a mm game, scanline sync no longer seems to work, and gsync tears at the bottom, gsync +nvcp vsync or in game vsync is tear free but microstutters every frame.
If I cap to sub 180 fps I can have perfectly smooth gsync but it’s because there’s enough room for my 240 hz to compensate for the stutters I think.
Been trying everything to fix this but no luck.
And yeah the in game limiter is even worse.
It seems it happens no matter what if the frame limit is hit, if I increase render rate to naturally stay below hz, and have no frame cap, that can also remove the stutter but just doesn’t feel as good to play on.
