Gameplay Framerate Limited With Mod #16

Open pixelshaded opened 2 months ago

pixelshaded commented 2 months ago

I have been playing on a 4k TV with frame gen on and getting 120fps (gsync etc).

I added this mod to play on a 32:9 gsync monitor. The cutscenes are great now, running at 60fps, but now the gameplay is capped at 60fps and is feeling hella sluggish. Is the mod assuming no one is playing at fps above 60fps?

pixelshaded commented 2 months ago

Seems that if I turn frame generation off my gameplay framerate goes back up.

pixelshaded commented 2 months ago

Also seems to unlock the framerate in cutscenes as well when I turn off framegen

I'm losing about 30 fps in some areas running this mod. I also noticed that without the mod, camera movement is smooth while with the mod it is choppy. Cutscenes look great though like I said haha.

What kind of settings are you using. Is it Nvidia frame generation? Are you using an external framerate cap? What do you have your framerate set to in-game?

Also it'd be handy if you can post your FFXVIFix.log file too.

Losing framerate is to be expected given that it was running at a 16:9 resolution before. It's not like it's rendering under black bars or anything.

Yes Nvidia framegen on a 4090. I do have an external framerate cap to keep the monitor within gsync ranges. I use 118fps max. In game I think is set to 120.

Yes Nvidia framegen on a 4090. I do have an external framerate cap to keep the monitor within gsync ranges. I use 118fps max. In game I think is set to 120.

That may be causing issues. For DLSS frame generation I'd recommend enabling VSync for the game in the Nvidia control panel and then using the Reflex option in-game. This'll dynamically cap your framerate to keep it in the VRR range.

pixelshaded commented 2 months ago

I have vsync forced on in nvidia control panel. As far as I understand, this is not dynamic. When your fps is above your refresh rate, vsync kicks in. When below, gsync kicks in, which is the point of forcing the fps to be below your refresh rate.

Yes the dynamic part is from reflex. If you enable nvidia control panel vsync and combine it with reflex, it will automatically keep you in the VRR range.

pixelshaded commented 2 months ago

Hmmm I can play with it. If nvidia reflex is an option in game, I turn it on. But not everything supports framegen/reflex, so I use those defaults for most games.

Lyall commented 2 months ago

That makes sense. Give it a try at least for FFXVI and if it doesn't help at all let me know. I've read quite a few reports of bad performance and crashing though (even without FFXVIFix installed) so I do wonder if it maybe is the game being variable to a certain extent.

On a tangentially related note, you can actually inject reflex support into most games these days using RTSS or SpecialK. They work pretty well in my experience.
