Nividia limiter doesnt work correctly on my rig but afterburner limiter works fine.
You want me to write in a different language or what because im struggling to explain it any better.
Lets leave it at that as i dont use any limiters now anyway.

i love the fps limiter i set most games to 58 like nvidia inspector recommends for reducing input lag and usually it works fine.

Unless you are mistakingly combining vsync with Afterburner alone and giving the impression of extra smoothness, limiting frames was possible before it was implemented into both Afterburner and the drivers. Likewise, both solutions work the same as the solutions before them (though obviously Dxtory itself IS another program).
That is all.

Dxtory is the smoothest for me ("fluid" image), 2nd is MSI afterburner's limiter, 3rd nvidia's build-in limiter, although it got a little better with 301.2x+ drivers.

Any of you guys know how I can use Afterburner and set the frame rate for each game individually? All I see is the global option mentioned on page 1.

Thanks all.

Sy.

um they put fps limit in drivers almost a year ago. you need to use nvidiaInspector to access this and other advanced drver settings

There's two icons that appear in the bottom right of your task bar for Afterburner, click the on-screen display icon, click the wrench, you'll see the framerate limiter.

Thanks I know this. I put that above. What I want to know is how to do it PER GAME in Afterburner.

In AB you open the OSD Server, select the program in the list of which you want to limit. Click the wrench button which opens up some advanced options, and under frame rate limiter and the amount of frames you wish to limit. You can also use NVInspector as well to limit the FPS.

The server properties (wrench icon) is context sensitive, when you have the global profile selected it affects everything, however if you have a specific profile selected it will only change it for that profile.
