Smoothed frame rate
- Many Unreal Engine 3 games use frame rate smoothing with a default value of 62. Especially users with monitors over 60Hz may want to change or disable this.
- Minimizes lag spikes and provides smoother gameplay overall.[1]
- Frame rate won't exceed specified value and has small impact on overall frame rate which may not be ideal on lower end gaming PC or when benchmarking.[2]
- If you'd like to raise frame rate smoothing:

- If you'd like to disable frame rate smoothing:

- If you experience screen tearing you may want to use regular V-sync or a frame rate cap rather than changing smoothing.
- Some games reset the values to default after game starting, setting file to "read-only" prevents this but some games may crash because of this. Please refer to the specific article for each game to see if setting its config files to "read-only" is needed.
