Fps struggles to reach 75 fps cap even though uncapped framerate goes above

[Evie Struggles With Life]

The game is dead by daylight, I capped my fps at 75 fps and yesterday everything was great, perfect framepacing 99.99% of the time and I had a lot of headroom for the gpu.

Now it struggles to reach it even though uncapped fps is around 90.

I tried recording the framerate but somehow when nvidia recording is on the cap is reached??? I'm so confused

I was thinking it might've been related to shader caching or something like that but after thinking about it a little bit more it made no sense.

It's also doesn't seem to be related

I capped my framerate via rivatuner and it seems to be doing better

Rive tuner has much better framerate cap.  I use it to cap mine at 163

It worked fine before though. I wonder what made my control panel act up

You running win 10 or 11.  I've found, not the driver my games still run fine, but the control panel a bit finicky in opening up in win 11.  I usually just restart the computer when that happens and it fixes it.

 

Also,  you haven't got V-Sync on have you?  What monitor do you have?
