Thread: unlimited frame rate option has been removed from the client on 5.0

agree with OP, tried it and it stutter as hell, then I used nvidia inspector, it has been working a lot better

I should also point out a problem with this cap in which the 1/1 option show's up to 120hz and yet the 90hz cap is the maximum. That's a contradiction and a bug and likely this was a last minute change with absolutely no testing whatsoever.

I have a 144hz freesync monitor but only the unlimited option (with big stuttering for me) or max 60 fps (Refresh Rate 1/1) in fullscreen mode... feels awful too me.
The Borderless window mode got the 144 fps (Refresh 1/1) but of course with the 90 fps cap... it still has some stuttering to me.

game looks...awful compared to yesterday and they've said nothing about it. It made my eyes hurt to look at. This nonsense came alight at the last minute really. Awful.

yep 2 days ago was running 1920x1080(144) now it wont allow me to go above a 60hz refresh rate nevermind the 90 fps cap. I could instantly tell on the menu with how laggy my mouse felt.

Please Square Enix for the love of people who invested into 144Hz or higher monitors, put illimited fps again or give us an option to run the game with 144 fps.
I can see a difference already with for example cinematics that look awful now with some tearing in the middle of the screen during them.

While I am not saying I agree with the change, some people simply do not care or are even bothered by it. To say the game looks awful now with the changes, or "I cannot stand looking at the game" IMO is a gross exaggeration but I guess when you are looking at graphics a certain way for so long, it is a bit of a thorn. They should IMO increase it to a max of 144fps. It is a good compromise on SE side. I thinik if enough people make a fuss over it they will probably change it.

I'm so glad I was wrong. The max 90 fps option does indeed use a different implementation than the other frame limit options. So far so good for me. No microstutters and variable frame drops. I'm happy SE proved me wrong and my consistent 90 fps has been a very smooth and enjoyable experience. How have others with high hz monitors been faring?
