Both of these can be visually disorienting and a competitive disadvantage, but the seemingly only way to fix it in most games is to enable some form of V-Sync, which is much more visually consistent but adds a lot more input latency. What is an FPS cap?įPS in this context refers to Frames Per Second, and on PCs where you have an FPS exceeding your refresh rate (such as 100 FPS on a 60 HZ panel), you’re much more prone to screen tearing and highly-variable FPS. With or without Afterburner, however, RivaTuner is capable of applying FPS caps and enabling Scanline Sync on any monitor. The purpose it serves with MSI Afterburner is enabling an on-screen display of framerate and other performance metrics, including GPU utilization and temperatures. RivaTuner Statistics Server (usually shortened to RTSS) is an application most known for being shipped with MSI Afterburner.
