New to LFC in need of help
Posted: 27 Jul 2024, 01:25
I have motion smoothness issues in games, and I want to experiment around LFC which my new display has and is a new thing to me. I don't know if it's a good idea, but I know it's a part of my display that keeps activating while playing and I want to observe it's behavior and potentially come up with a solution or alternative method to my issues. I would love to get some hand-holding and "explain like im 5 years old" to know how I should approach it.
What I want to do?
I thought of 1) Disabling LFC temporarily/changing when it activates and 2) Increasing LFC range so it gets activated on a higher framerate
Is any of this possible?
My display is ASUS VG27AQL3A. Fast IPS, 180Hz, ELMB, ELMB+Sync, Variable Overdrive, G-Sync Compatible/FreeSync Premium. I have a NVIDIA GPU. I use G-Sync when playing games.
1) I don't know when it exactly activates but from my observation it looks like it kicks in when FPS fall below 54. When frame limiting, 54 and below shows over 90-100 FPS in the display frame graph. Above 55, it is exactly that number.
Can I change it and pump it up a little to let's say 60 FPS? Would that even be a good idea?
The games I currently play I aim for 60 FPS while pushing for the maximum graphic fidelity my mid range setup is capable of for that number. I have a lot of motion issues undiagnosed (with a thread ongoing), possibly due to the frametime variance and trying to reduce them or get rid of them completely. Whenever LFC activates under a 54 FPS cap, it seems (I didn't test it enough) to be way much smoother than playing without it. I don't get above 60 FPS (and even if I do get 60, or 100, or whatever else be it low or high settings I still have and notice motion issues), it fluctuates below it (which isn't exactly in my goal) if I don't sacrifice some quality (and I already did a little). I guess I would need to OC my CPU to get more from it, but that is out of topic.
2) As I said before, because FPS fluctuates depending on what is happening in the game, I think my LFC keeps activating and deactivating. My question is, can it cause microstutters or reduce smoothness because of how often my display switches numbers? I want to test it, if possible, by disabling it OR lowering when it activates (maybe 49 FPS, not 54)
I have CRU installed, but I don't know what steps I should take and also not mess anything in the proccess. I want to do a backup of the current settings, find the settings for my issue described above and keep changing them to observe the behavior.
I did some searching as I'm writing this, and I don't think you (or I can't) can edit the LFC directly, only VRR range. If I'm looking right, mine is 48-180. I can provide screenshots of my CRU.
Thanks.
