Regardless of settings, V-Sync will '''always''' be used. What these settings control is the sync interval of V-Sync — on which ''n''th refresh that a new frame from the game should be presented. |
| − | * | + | |
| − | * | + | * When the '''VSync''' option is enabled, the game will dynamically engage and disengage the appropriate sync interval to keep the game locked to as close to 60 FPS as possible. |
| − | + | * When the '''VSync''' option is disabled, the '''Max FPS''' option will be populated with appropriate sync intervals that has the frame rate land between 30 and 60 FPS. | |
| + | ** On a 60 Hz display the Max FPS option will be populated with 60 FPS (Sync Interval: 1) and 30 FPS (Sync Interval: 2) | ||
| + | ** On a 120 Hz display it will be 60 FPS (Sync Interval: 2) 40 FPS (Sync Interval: 3), and 30 FPS (Sync Interval: 4). | ||
| + | ** On a 144 Hz display it will be 48 FPS (Sync Interval: 3) and 36 FPS (Sync Interval: 4). | ||
| + | ** On a 175 Hz display it will be 58 FPS (Sync Interval: 3), 43 FPS (Sync Interval: 4), and 35 FPS (Sync Interval: 5). | ||
| + | ** On a 240 Hz display it will be 60 FPS (Sync Interval: 4), 48 FPS (Sync Interval: 5), 40 FPS (Sync Interval: 6), and 34 FPS (Sync Interval: 7). | ||
| + | ** And so on... | ||
| + | * '''Any''' sync interval higher than 1 makes the game illegible for [[Glossary:Variable refresh rate (VRR)|variable refresh rate (VRR)]]. | ||
| − | + | This can result in multiple different issues depending on the system, such as an extremely fluctuating frame rate, capping to arbitrary framerates, and constantly disengaging/reengaging VRR which itself can cause visual flickers on some displays. | |

High frame rate
The game does not feature an discrete FPS limiter but simulates one through the use of V-Sync and refreshing on the nth vertical blank of the display.[4] The Max FPS and VSync are misnomers. Regardless of settings, V-Sync will always be used. What these settings control is the sync interval of V-Sync — on which nth refresh that a new frame from the game should be presented.
- When the VSync option is enabled, the game will dynamically engage and disengage the appropriate sync interval to keep the game locked to as close to 60 FPS as possible.
- When the VSync option is disabled, the Max FPS option will be populated with appropriate sync intervals that has the frame rate land between 30 and 60 FPS.
- On a 60 Hz display the Max FPS option will be populated with 60 FPS (Sync Interval: 1) and 30 FPS (Sync Interval: 2)
- On a 120 Hz display it will be 60 FPS (Sync Interval: 2) 40 FPS (Sync Interval: 3), and 30 FPS (Sync Interval: 4).
- On a 144 Hz display it will be 48 FPS (Sync Interval: 3) and 36 FPS (Sync Interval: 4).
- On a 175 Hz display it will be 58 FPS (Sync Interval: 3), 43 FPS (Sync Interval: 4), and 35 FPS (Sync Interval: 5).
- On a 240 Hz display it will be 60 FPS (Sync Interval: 4), 48 FPS (Sync Interval: 5), 40 FPS (Sync Interval: 6), and 34 FPS (Sync Interval: 7).
- And so on...
- Any sync interval higher than 1 makes the game illegible for variable refresh rate (VRR).
This can result in multiple different issues depending on the system, such as an extremely fluctuating frame rate, capping to arbitrary framerates, and constantly disengaging/reengaging VRR which itself can cause visual flickers on some displays.
| Override sync interval with Special K[5] |

Disable fur
