Microstuttering and FPS Limiters - MSI After Burner

Post » Mon Jun 18, 2012 3:48 pm

So for my first post (Dont think is has already been posted lol).... MSI After Burner 2.2.0 Beta 10 is released for those of you who are interested. For those of us you might already be using it, there is now an option to Limit FPS without the need to actually be recording video.... Hope to give this a try tonight...

http://downloads.guru3d.com/MSI-Afterburner-2.2.0-Beta-10-download-2839.html

Added new profile settings allowing to limit the framerate independently during gaming and during videocapture. Limiting the framerate during gaming can help to reduce the power consumption as well as it can improve gaming experience due to removing unwanted microstutteing effect caused by framerate fluctuations. Limiting the framerate during videocapture can improve resulting video smoothness

Links dont seem to work... but you might be referring to the strange delays people were posting about where they would shoot arrows and or other things that would have a huge lag before they would actually shoot? I've seen that myself one or two times actually... Was that caused by the FPS limiter mod? hmm..

Yea those are the delays. It's fairly easy to test it - it seems to happen most when just entering a dungeon - just try it with and without the limiter and see the difference.

Does dxtory force record video or something? That seems to work fine...

I think DXtory is also supposed to be able to do this without recording as well... But some might not want to load another piece of software and have it take up resources.. Just thought it would mention the new feature in this new beta for those who might already be using Afterburner beta 9....

Thanks for posting this. I usually check regularly for MSI Afterburner beta's but I haven't recently.

Finally I can play the game in fullscreen (thus enabling crossfire)! I was playing with the borderless windowed mod previously because I couldn't stand the mouse-stutter/microstutter that sometimes occurs, it was driving me up the wall. I tried a number of different tweaks but they either didn't work or had extremely bad screen tearing. The only one that did work was playing in windowed mode, but that disables crossfire. By capping my framerate to 59 with this I have eliminated the microstutter and am now able to play with crossfire! No more <60FPS drops (except in some towns, but SkyBoost is helping with that)!

Good to hear! .. Would like to give it a go myself to see if it will help with my "turn stuttering" (if that makes any sense) .. but i need to get this "work thing" out of the way first.. ha ha...

fyi - if you use ENB, it views Afterburner's fps limiter (in Beta) as an 'overlay', and the game won't launch.
