Another day, another odd and old-school technical issue in #Nioh3. This game doesn’t just expect the frame rate to hit its FPS cap to work properly, it also wants the FPS to line up with the display refresh rate. Using the 60 fps cap at 120Hz (or higher) can...

In my previous post about the #Nioh3 demo, I mentioned that when the game isn’t consistently holding 60 FPS or 120 FPS, several issues can show up. Here’s a clearer breakdown of what's going on. The main reason is that the game speed and physics are tied to the frame rate. When you enable the 120 FPS cap, the engine start overreacting and pushes CPU usage very high, even if the game is still running at around 60 FPS (as shown in the first example). In the second clip, you can see the uneven, jittery camera movement I mentioned before. Notice how much smoother 60 FPS and 120 FPS look compared to the unlocked side. Also, camera movement at 60 FPS is slightly faster than at 120 FPS. In the third clip, player movement is slower when the frame rate is unlocked. This doesn’t happen all the time, but it shows up often enough to be noticeable. Because of how the Katana Engine behaves, the game is clearly designed around 60 FPS. Running at 120 FPS is possible, but it’s only recommended if your system can maintain that target almost all the time, which isn’t easy to achieve. There’s also an alternative workaround where you select the 60 (locked) option and enable Frame Generation (DLSS or FSR 3), as shown in the last clip. The downside is that DLSS Frame Generation tends to show the same stuttery look as when the frame rate isn’t holding a fixed target, likely due to Reflex keeping the frame rate slightly below target. FSR Frame Generation, on the other hand, looks much smoother and works better here.

Trying to fix the FPS issues today If I'm on MacBook Pro M3 with battery >20% or power connected I get 120 FPS The moment I go below <20% battery, M3 goes in power save mode I think so FPS drops to 30 FPS 30 FPS is fine but it also decreases the entire game speed by 30/120 (so 4x) Same on iPhone, I get 30 FPS, but the game gets too slow My Cursor written animate() function is, which runs on requestAnimationFrame, but I guess that deltaTime code needs some fixes to disconnect it from the FPS, I already tried but didn't work Ideally 120 FPS or 30 FPS or 10 FPS all runs at same speed even if lower or higher frame rate function animate() { requestAnimationFrame(animate); // Calculate delta time in seconds, but use fixed timestep for physics const currentTime = const rawDeltaTime = (currentTime - lastFrameTime) / 1000; deltaTime = 1/60; // Force fixed 60 FPS timestep for all physics lastFrameTime = currentTime;

GTA V's splash screen at 60 FPS in a PS5 emulator?! SharpEMU can now boot GTA V to its splash screen at a smooth 60 FPS, marking another exciting milestone for PS5 emulation. Current stats: • 60.1 FPS • 16.7 ms frame time • ~731 MB RAM • ~393 MB buffer • ~3% CPU usage • 1+ minute runtime There's still plenty of work ahead, but the progress is undeniable.

Running the #Nioh3 Demo at variable FPS doesn’t just mess with the game’s physics and simulation timing, it can also affect some graphical elements, like artificial light shadows, which are completely disabled unless the game is holding a steady 60 or 120 FPS.

Silver Palace Performance Update ( Good News ) • Silver Palace addressed the performance issues and released an approximately 600 MB patch that fixes most of the stuttering. • I'm now getting 60–90 FPS at 1440p with DLSS Quality. Previously, I was only getting 30–40 FPS (without Frame Generation). • The game still needs more optimization. FPS drops quite a bit during combat, but the overall experience has improved significantly. Glad to see the developers listened to the community's feedback. #SilverPalace #Gacha

The CPU-intensive nature of #Samson makes it one of the best use cases for Frame Generation. The GPU has plenty of headroom, allowing FG to operate more efficiently, this results in a substantial boost to smoothness and frame rate with a small increase in latency.

Google researchers just developed GameNGen, an AI that can simulate DOOM at over 20 fps It works by predicting each frame in real time with a diffusion model At scale this could mean AI will be able to create games on the fly, personalized to each player

Stunt Car Racer Unleashed (by Vesuri/2026) is a modification that optimizes the frame rate of the 1989's classic Amiga 3D game. It doesn't needs a high-end Amiga setup of the 040/060 kind, this is recorded at A1200/020/28MHz (UAE), which is quite mid. Although it isn't reaching the target 60 FPS (it's good enough). Info:

This is what screen tearing actually looks like. If you're not on G-Sync, capping your FPS at a random number makes it worse. Cap at a clean divisor of your refresh rate instead. On 240Hz that's 240, 120, 80 or 60 (ideally as high as your PC can hold). It locks the tear line in one place instead of letting it roll and cause sluggish-feeling gameplay.

I tried Motorstorm on RPCS3 and can confirm it is playable. However, terrain deformation is extremely taxing on the GPU so I can't have 60 FPS at 1440p on my RTX 3070. You will have to either drop the resolution or lock the framerate to its original 30 FPS cap.

2. Breakthrough in Volumetric Video Previous attempts were inconsistent because each frame had to be a new mesh. But Gaussian Splats solve this. It's not only temporally consistent, 60 fps, smaller in filesize but also allows infinite frame retiming. Seeing it in VR at the booth was like an out of body experience. Huge implications for VR. See the 10-min demo: Try it in the browser:

Wow, diffusion models (used in AI image generation) are also game engines - a type of world simulation. By predicting the next frame of the classic shooter DOOM, you get a playable game at 20 fps without any underlying real game engine. This video is from the diffusion model.

An Absolute Game Changer Coming For UEVR PureDark has been bringing his AFW implementation to UEVR which can almost double fps in many cases. If you haven’t tried his AFW for RE Engine yet, it works by alternating the frame and using the previous frame + the alternate eye to reconstruct the opposite eye. The end result is that you only render one eye instead of two for synced eye rendering. ✅ Not guessing a future frame like ASW / AppSW / Motion Smooth ✅Not the added latency of frame gen techniques ✅Even opens the door to eye tracked foveated rendering quad views for UEVR

For those wondering Kingdom Hearts Coded runs at 15fps by default. Increasing beyond will just break the game due to everything being tied to the FPS. In which case my hardware renderer took it from maybe 4-5 fps to a 15 fps cap. This is pretty normal for mobile games in 2008.
