Guild Wars 2

Before we get started, my system specs are as follows:

Mainboard: ASUS P8 Z77-V LX
CPU: i5 2500k @ stock clocks
GPU: HD 6670 in CrossfireX
Resolution/Other: 1920×1080 @ 60Hz, VSync enabled, TBuffering enabled

When I set the FPS Limiter to “Unlimited”, I get insane stuttering, although my FPS is displayed as being anywhere from 50 to 100+ via the options window. When I set it to 60, my FPS becomes HARD CAPPED at 50 (fifty). It doesn’t matter what I do, it will NOT go above 50 regardless of the circumstances, but there is literally zero stuttering. If I set the Frame Limiter to 60, the game is butter smooth, however I feel cheated out of 10 FPS.

I’m not sure if this is an issue on your end or not, but I’m open to recommendations.

Edit: Interesting fact, if I open up ANY program in the background, my FPS increases to where it should be (58-63ish), but the stuttering starts again.

Edit 2: It seems flaky as to whether or not this happens. Sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes it just stays hardcapped at 50 even if I have a program open in the background. Wtf?

Why would that be?

Same problem here, 30 actually limits to 25 which is a tad bit too low, also adding the -fps 30 to the command line doesn’t do anything either…

All I want is a steady 30 frames, not 20, not 25, not 50… 30!!!

I really, really, REALLY feel your pain with the frame limiter. My laptop isn’t exactly a beast, and 30 frames has always been enjoyable for me to play at, but 25 is way too low and anything above 30 is unstable (unless its 40). Definitely think the FPS limiter is an excellent idea, but very poorly implemented, D3 and LOTRO did it brilliantly, as well as SC2 allowing the edit of .ini files.

The problem isn’t with the frame limiter unable to cap, but that it just OVERRIDES any sort of command, wether through the nvidia inspector or the -fps command line. I’m not sure whats wrong with it, but it sure is irritating.
