turn vsync off, uncap fps, make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. if it seems glitchy/screen teary (usually nvidia cards won't but sometimes they do), turn vsync back on and cap fps at your monitor's refresh rate.

Sorry, vsync is short for Vertical Sync. It's down below the framerate cap.

Uncapped fps should in theory make no difference - your monitor updates what you're seeing a set number of times per second (it's refresh rate) If vertical sync is setting it to 60 fps, that means your monitor is updating 60 times per second, and your fps being 60 means that all 60 of those times, there is a new frame. It means your computer is experiencing no lag. If it changes a lot, it will seem like lag, even if it's changing from 60 to 400 and back just because the rate at which your monitor is updating can't keep up with what your computer is sending it.

Basically, 60 fps on a 60hz monitor = no lag. If your monitor is actually 144hz, you need to set it to that in windows or nvidia control panel, and vsync should match it.

wow bro you the man lol one last question where can i set it in windows and nividia?

If it's actually a 144hz monitor the easiest way to set it to that would be right clicking your desktop and hitting 'screen resolution' then 'advanced settings' then the 'monitor' tab. Under screen refresh rate, there's a dropdown with supported modes.

Do you mean FPS, or Ping? If it's FPS, in-game settings allow you to cap your FPS at a specific interval (60 FPS, etc)

You can cap your FPS in the client to only hit a certain amount c: Just go to settings in game, should be in Video.

make sure you have the correct cable. Different DVi cords and HDMI cords support different frames.

Hmdi is not supposed to even be used over 30fps, but it can be pushed higher for certain resolutions.

DVI cables have like 3 standards based how pins they have. More pins the higher resolution and frame rate.

Also cable length effects frame rate. This tends to be a bigger problem for HDMi than DVI though.

Check your card and monitor it may have gsync or another hardware video sync out side of league.

yo thansk bro where would i check that out, i have this geforce experience app, ive looked in there but i dont see anything, any ideas?

Angry Monster1 votes

The geforce is the nividia tool for the gfx card. Make sure the settings are set correctly for league it will find the game.

Display port > DVI > hdmi (hdmi is trash)

Your gfx card should have at least one dvi port. Display port is hit and miss and depends on manufacture. Get off HDMi though
