Question What's the best software to cap framerate with?

[Deepsea111]

Been doing some googling but getting a lot of mixed answers between:

• Driver software (for me AMD)
• Rivatuner
• In-game

I'm specifically wondering what'd be best for competitive fps titles (Apex, Val, OW, etc.). Do some introduce more input lag than others. What do you guys like best?

Inherently a frame limit introduces input lag by increasing the time between frames and increasing your reaction time.

For competitive gaming you generally leave frame limits off. One could argue that with a very high refresh rate monitor you might consider putting VRR on to get rid of tearing. Once the monitor is sub 5ms or so I don't see it making that much of a difference.

I believe all of those would directly tell the driver what to do. They should be equivalent.
