FPS cap below refresh rate

What it does

Caps frames ~3 below your monitor's refresh (e.g. 141 on a 144 Hz panel).

The honest verdict

Keeps VRR engaged, avoids V-Sync backpressure, stabilizes frametimes, and lowers heat. One of the few tweaks that's real on nearly every setup.

How Compy treats it

Where it genuinely fits a rig, Compy can recommend it — applied with a snapshot first and a one-click rollback after, like every change it makes.

The Compy Blackbook holds 174 graded entries like this one, judged against your hardware — and every change it does make is reversible, with the receipt to prove it.
