Should I cap my fps
Posted: 05 Mar 2019, 04:26
Here's a graph from 5 minutes of gaming on Apex Legends :
The min was around 80, the highest is 177 (I have a 180hz monitor, capped to 177 with rtss), the average is around 120. I didn't notice any frametime spikes - nothing that makes it obvious I should change something.
I'm new to gsync and, while in-game I don't really notice anything (the point of gsync, really), I'm wondering if I'm not inadvertently throwing my aim off. Is my sensitivity changing ever so slightly when my fps moves from say 160 to 80 or 80 to 160 ? Should I cap my fps and if so to what ? Should I try reducing video settings even more (they're already at low-medium) ?
Thanks.
Edit : a lot of people seem to dislike frametime fluctuations for their aim. I'll try capping to 120 and try to see if it's better.
Edit2 : at 120 fps cap using the in-game limiter, but I had huge stutters for no apparent reason so I'll try using rtss - also deactivated my monitor's oc back to 144hz since I didn't need 180. I can't say whether it was better or worse with the stutters, but seems like fps is stable-ish. Lowest was 87.
