Seeing as L.A. Noire was ported to PC, some restrictions remain. The most prevalent of these is the 30 FPS cap imposed on the PC version of this game.

After struggling to find a solution to this in order to take the reigns off my newly minted gaming PC for this title, I have found a solution that works:

[listNum]
1) Download and run ArtMoney (http://www.artmoney.ru/e_download_se.htm) (completely safe)
2) Launch and enter the game
3) Alt-Tab to ArtMoney
4) In the 'Select process' dropdown list, select L.A. Noire and click on 'Search'
5) In the window that appears, select the Type as 'Float (standard)' and enter 59.94000 in the Value box (make sure the equal size is selected)
6) Click OK
7) Select the first value listen in the pane on the left
8) Change the Value column's value to one of the following to change the FPS cap:

  • - 119.88 - for 60 FPS cap
    - 99.90 - for 50 FPS cap
    - 79.92 - for 40 FPS cap
9) Click Save and exit ArtMoney
10) Alt-Tab back into the game

Black bars

If you play the game on 1080p and black bars appear around the screen, a temporary fix exists. Every time that you load/Alt-Tab into the game and the black bars appear, go to the game's graphics settings, change a value (e.g. anti-aliasing), apply it, change it back, apply it again and the black bars will be removed.

This fix will be undone whenever you exit/Alt-Tab out of the game, so it will have to be reapplied every time.
