I was going to put this in the Display section but decided this was more appropriate.
So, most games typically go right to 60hz. Some titles give you options, others do not.
- Do you game on a potato that easily averages over 60 but can dip into the mid/lows 50's when things start getting hectic??
Well, here is the solution:
First off, don't talk to me about frame-rate limiters. IT'S NOT THE SAME LEVEL OF SMOOTHNESS AT ALL!!
Anyways, using a program and creating your own bat files this problem is easily solved.
DL this:
http://tools.taubenkorb.at/change-screen-resolution/
Here is a sample bat file to save you guys the trouble:
cd\changescreenresolution
changescreenresolution /d=\\.\DISPLAY1 /f=50
exit
Change that 50 to whatever you want obviously. (create another that's set to 60/75/whatever to default back to)
I just keep 2 icons on my desktop.
Now you'll notice 50hz is infinitely smoother than a locked 50fps!!
*NOTE* This only works if you do it before you launch the game.
TLDR
1. I found a program that lets you manually set your refresh rate
2. it's linked above
3. its useful
This saved me from the brink of madness in Destiny 2 and several other titles....
EDIT: For the sake of clarity, OBVIOUSLY have Vsync applied.
