How to Cap FPS in CS:GO Open CS:GO and go to the game's options menu. Click on "Video Settings" and then on "Advanced Video." Scroll down to the "Advanced" section and locate the "Max Acceptable Matchmaking Ping" option. Set the value to a number that corresponds to the desired FPS cap. For example, So I'll find a setting that works best for me in regards to balance between picture quality and framerate. For example I'm seeing framerates on average 90 fps in FH5 and will then limit it to 80 fps. Advantage for me is to have stable framerate and input lag. Also the GPU will be more silent and cooler. How do I cap FPS in CSGO? There are several methods to cap FPS in CSGO, depending on your system and requirements. Here are three common approaches: In-game options: CSGO offers an option to limit FPS within its settings. Launch the game and navigate to the settings menu. Under "Video Settings," you should find an option to cap FPS. Again, G-SYNC doesn't cause "extra" input lag, it prevents tearing. As for RTSS, it typically has up to 1 frame more input lag than an in-game limiter, but can be lower lag than uncapped at the same FPS, so no, we're not talking 5ms "added" input lag vs no sync at the same framerate (using the same FPS cap) within a 240Hz refresh rate, more like < 1ms, if that. I'm using an fps cap for G-Sync and I am finding conflicting answers online as to which program has the better FPS limiter as of right now. EDIT: Ive now tried both FPS limiters and analysed their performance using RTSS frametime graph, strangely in modern warfare II NVCP's fps cap seemed to have lots of microflucuations in the frametimes, whereas RTSS fps cap was a constant 11.1ms (a perfect MajorTankz. • 4 yr. ago. A capped and constant 90fps feels better than a variable 90-110 fps. Not really especially when you have a variable refresh rate monitor. And unless if you're using RTSS (which adds input lag btw), whatever framerate limiter you're using probably doesn't guarantee constant frametimes anyway. uDkk6.
