Easy, turn 'Vsynv' on in your graphics card driver (either the Catalyst control centre, or Nvidia Control Panel). That will limit the game to match the refresh rate of your screen, or a proportion of that if there isn't enough performance to match full speed (so for a normal 60 hz screen, vsync will either lock the refresh at 60 or 30 fps depending on performance).
But can it be only 30 fps? Because it dips so low on the late game that 30 offers a much smaller transition
Well, no and yes. Assuming you can put out at least 60 FPS it will be 60, however, once you can't keep 60, it drops to 30 until it can't maintain that. And you will notice the drops even if you're running at 30, 30+ FPS is usually fine but the moment you drop under you can really see the frames.
If you have an nvidia video card you can install msi afterburner and limit the fps.. I did this on the weekend and limited it to 60. My system runs much cooler/quieter now.
Precision X, yes. Afterburner just has a bigger reputation I think. They have essentially the same functionality.
Really? I figured more people would be buying evga for the better warranty and step-up program. I remember sometime a few years ago Precision X was the ONLY way to overclock being offered by manufactures and evga was offering it to anyone to download.
I bought my EVGA card because it was the best-- in cooling, performance and in style and I had no idea about the Step Up program, but boy did it serve me well when I upgraded my 770 Classified to my 780. For some time, EVGA had a reputation as having faulty air coolers on their cards, a reputation which I still read about when I was searching only a year ago, but they seem to have fixed it with the ACX and ACX 2.0. Also, Afterburner has been around for some time, at least 4 years to my knowledge as I had a friend who used it alongside 3DMark Vantage to OC his GPUs a few years ago, before the latest 3DMark release. Either way, both programs are effective but I've grown more used to the Precision X so that's the program I use to fiddle. Also, I did check-- it is capable of limiting frame rate and controlling quite a few parts of the card, more than before, and I think it's fully caught up to Afterburner.
