Dweedle Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Ok guys. In Fallout New Vegas i discovered something so awesome. I used the Ini configator for New Vegas to clamp my FPS at 30 then I used the NVIDIA Inspector to limit it to 30 and force Vsync and my game is running so smoothly that I cannot tell that it is running at 30fps.. my game is so smooth and nice.I want to imitate this for Skyrim but unfortunately the INI editior for Skyrim does not offer a way to FPS Clamp. I have googled this and everyone says add stuff to the INI but they don't say "where" in the ini nor do they say "what" ini. Essentially I want to Clamp my FPS at 30 using the Skyrim equilvelent of this option in the New Vegas ini configator; can anyone help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dweedle Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 I need to clamp it, not limit it as I've already limited it via the NVIDIA inspector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LargeStyle Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Clamping and limiting are really the same thing - both create an upper limit for fps. Also, limiting Skyrim to 30 fps is a bad idea as the game doesn't like 30 fps in regards to loading - it takes significantly longer to load an area / cell when capping to 30 fps. FPS limiter via nvidia drivers (for me) works but the games I've used it on all stutter quite badly. Therefore I find the best way to limit fps is by means of locking it down via hardware - as in by adjusting monitor refresh rate. For all games (apart from Skyrim) I set my monitor to 1920 x 1080 @ 30Hz and this normally works great. However some games don't respond to a lower-than-possible refresh rate and load up using 60Hz instead, in which case I've found MSI Afterburner the smoothest and best fps limiter tool. As for Skyrim, I run it @ 1920 x 1080 60Hz and use the file linked above to cap the game to 32 fps (the extra 2 fps gets around the long loading times bug) and it runs just fine.

And I need to be able to tweak it myself, because I'm already struggling to squeeze my mods together, and I can't have any clutter in my load order.

vlaka Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) You don't an extra esp bogging up your load order ;) Simply use nvidia inspector or AMD equivalent, load up the Skyrim profile and set your desired fps.open up skyrim.ini and add ifpsclamp=x (where the x is put the value of the corresponding fps value from nvidia inspector) Both need to be the same to get a smooth result. I use 45 and it's nice. Edited March 2, 2015 by vlaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
