No auto cap with latest nvidia driver

Everything about latency. This section is mainly user/consumer discussion. (Peer-reviewed scientific discussion should go in Laboratory section). Tips, mouse lag, display lag, game engine lag, network lag, whole input lag chain, VSYNC OFF vs VSYNC ON, and more! Input Lag Articles on Blur Busters.

No auto cap with latest nvidia driver

Post by Hoovzter » 09 Jan 2026, 08:23

Latest driver 591.74 with DLSS 4.5 doesnt lock your fps with gsync+vsync+reflex below your monitors refresh rate. It now works similar as if you had gsync+vsync+ULLM in most games, it lets your fps go up to your monitors max refresh rate instead of the marginal just below, so you now get the full latency with vsync because it does not auto cap😢

So my monitor is 120hz and fps goes up to 120fps instead of 116fps (like before the latest driver) which lets me take all the vsync latency, now you have to do a manual fps cap again.

This happened as soon as I changed gsync vsync settings in NVCP, and when I changed it back it didnt work.

This happened after I installed the new driver in all the games ive tried that has reflex.

Anyone else get this problem if you change sync settings in NVCP? Ive tried flipping them on and off and same with reflex and vsync in game, tried turning ULLM off as well, no success.

you can cap it in nvcpl to 116 fps, what's the problem?

Well because that adds latency. You want to cap it in game.

Gsync+vsync+reflex was really comfortable to trust so you didnt have to worry.

But now it seems to autocap again like it should in bf6 where I had the problem before. Strange.
