Multithreaded rendering FPS cap

Using the command "SET MinFrameTime.2 "0.00694444"" in usersettings.txt should lock my FPS at 144. I went into Cyrodil after the update and my FPS is still going ABOVE 144. Is there anything that I can do to lock it?

    If you are into addons Votan has an Advanced Settings Addon that allows you to modify additional settings in the game, including your FPS. It's on the fly and it works with Multi-Thread Render.

    If memory serves that doesn’t cap your FPS it just allows the game to render and use upto that FPS

    You have to go into your graphic card software and cap you max FPS to 144 if you want it to not go beyond 144

    I'm pretty sure the way it works is the FPS is already capped in-game. Using the command in the usersettings changes what your cap is set to. If you want to uncap it completely you set it to "0.000000"

    Every way to cap FPS adds some Lag/Latency (even on driver side if you do it in the eg nvidia control panel). The way to add the least lag is to cap FPS in the game itself, if the game offers this option (like eso does) via the described way in the users settings.

    Sure, if you want to edit the UserSettings file, that will do the same thing without the resource load from having the addon installed, but personally I prefer to use the addon and I don't notice any difference between having the addon or not. YMMV.

    Yeah, but im not talking about a ressource load but an addition of lag, like input lag. That lag that will dispaly the picture that u see later (eg compared to an opponent that u fight if he has less lag). Similarily to vertical synchronization (vsynch), that adds a lot of lag. These are just fractions of a seconds but ppl that strive to play competitively care a lot about this.
