Your refresh rate.

vsync will cap FPS at your monitors refresh rate.

 

and some games have ingame settings to cap FPS, or if the game has a console (like bethesda games) you can cap it in the in game console

You shouldn't, running things outside of your monitors refresh rate will look choppy.

for what reason my I ask? that will not look very good and to me it would just be very annoying.

why would you want to do that, there is no use case where this makes any sense for gaming.

Because the game I play constantly goes between 120 FPS to 8FPS, so it freezes starts freezes starts...... over and over again so I want to cap it at around 60-100FPS. It is not a technical difficulty.

I have a similar question, I have a 72hz monitor. Does it make sense to cap my fps to 70fps to be able to set higher graphic qualitiy?

I know I might run into frame latency but they seem to be at around 10-20ms, which is OK for me.

I have a freesync Monitor and activated via Radeon Tool.

 

And another question, which is the best way to cap the fps? AMD Radeon tool, RivaTuner or ingame?

Thanks!

RivaTuner, go to msi after burner and when it gives you the option the install rivatuner, check that box and uncheck the MSI afterburner box.

Okay. I am surprised. I thought that the AMD Radeon tool would maybe do a better job .

thanks
