Even with scaling and/or frame generation off.
The moment I hit the hotkey it goes to 30 fps.

game and specs

smoky owl
#

EDF6 ryzen5700x rtx4070 16gb ram 3200mhz

mossy zodiac
#

can put the full name of the game

#

also your LS settings and screen refresh rate and resolution

smoky owl
#

Earth Defense Force 6

#

1080p 165hz

mossy zodiac
#

ok I am sure it's 2 things

#

look at the Nvidia app

#

did you set an FPS limit on it

#

since any FPS limit on it is global including LS

smoky owl
#

on the game or LS?

mossy zodiac
#

The nvidia app

#

there is something limiting your FPS most likely

smoky owl
#

max framerate global is off

#

but i have background apps max fps at 30

mossy zodiac
#

probably the cause

#

just check it

#

if it doesn't work we will look into something else

smoky owl
#

now it say 165/329

mossy zodiac
#

progress

#

are you using an emulator?

#

is the game copy legit?

#

do you have any overlays?

smoky owl
#

its on steam

mossy zodiac
#

do you use any overlays?

smoky owl
#

steam overlay

mossy zodiac
#

if so disable them

#

disable it

smoky owl
#

no change

mossy zodiac
#

Hmmm

#

are you sure there are no other overlays?

#

also send your settings

smoky owl
#

I turned off nvidia overlay and xbox game bar and no its 120/240

mossy zodiac
#

are you sure those were all the overlays you have on?

#

enable preformance mode

smoky owl
#

That should be all overlays

#

no change with performance mode

mossy zodiac
#

what does the FPS counter say?

smoky owl
#

still 120/240

mossy zodiac
#

it isn't cutting your FPS in half

#

do you feel any quality problems or anything?

#

any smoothness problems?

smoky owl
mossy zodiac
#

your screen is 165 hz, frames higher than 165 can't be rendered

#

do you feel less smoothness when playing the game?

smoky owl
#

Feels a bit less smooth than before

mossy zodiac
#

that's because you are going over the refresh rate

smoky owl
#

before it just doubled the fps to 120

mossy zodiac
#

for this to work you need to cap your FPS at 82

mossy zodiac
smoky owl
#

i tried capping the game fps to 60 in nvidia settings but no change

mossy zodiac
#

hey, I told you before, capping it to 60 nvidia is a global cap

#

so it also caps lossless scaling to 60

#

what you need to do is instal something like rivatuner statistics to cap the framerate

#

otherwise you can stay uncapped an use DXGI

smoky owl
#

I tinkered around with the settings a bit

#

and setting sync mode to Vsync puts it at 60/120

mossy zodiac
#

I got to sleep now, sorry man

smoky owl
#

this works for me i guess, thx for the help and good night :v
