What else can I try to reduce the CPU usage of FGU

[EllivasKram]

Type in chat channel. /VSYNC 2

There are threads on this. My laptop benefits greatly with ‘/VSYNC 2’ (30 frames/second).

As DM/Server I want my CPU/GPU serving out a good PC/Client experience over my dice look and feel.

[Temmpest]

Do you have to type vsync everytime?

[EllivasKram]

Not in my experience. Once set it the same in every load.

[EllivasKram]

Oh and if your players are like mine. They will be running some rubbish hardware. They can use ‘/VSYNC 2’ too.

[DGM]

Changed NVidia Settings Virtual Sync to "Use the 3D application default" to resolve this issue after seeing the comment from EllivasKram about /VSYNC 2

So I'm assuming that whatever they're doing on their end affects performance on the GMs end. That makes sense.

Brought my FGU CPU usage from a near constant 30-50% to under 10% on average, thank you!

Can someone explain wat vsync 1, 2, 3 and 4 do?

We experience these problems when we play:
hight cpu usage - stalling stuttering ...
slow token movement (locked)
a player with a slow pc, who experiences lots of lag


Will vsync work and what is best performancewise? 1,2,3 or 4?
What else should I do/check?

My specs:
Intel Core i7-8750H 2.2GHz w/ turboboost up to 4.1 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 105 w/ 4 GB vram
16 GB DDR4 Memory

vsynch 0 will take your system's value for fps, vsynch X (X unequal to 0) will force FGU to use 60/X fps :)

The higher the number the lower the FPS. 0 is system default.

Im having the same issue with really high % CPU use from FGU.
I tried the VSYNC command but does nothing... only show me the default commands.
Also i saw some tips about changing the video configuration, but i do not see anywhere to config that...
Im running on a iMac

[EllivasKram]

Type /VSYNC

Then it will output your current setting. Then try /VSYNC 0 1 2 3 4

In my Win10 laptop (intel GPU) I see noticeable GPU difference with /VSYNC 2 3 & 4

[cevikd]

The higher the number the lower the FPS. 0 is system default.

I'm running on a 144hz monitor. I have the refresh rate of my monitor set to 144hz in the NVidia Control Panel. In Manage 3D settings I have "Preferred refresh rate" set to "highest available" and Vertical Sync set to "Use 3D application setting".

With /vsync 0 I'm seeing 60hz. /vsync 1 is 144hz, /vsync 2 is 72 hz, etc.

So it looks to me like /vsync 0 is "lock to 60hz" and /vsync 1 is "system default"? And then /vsync 2+ is "system default / <setting value>".

[Kelrugem]

yup, /vsynch 1 is the default and 0 forces 60 hz :) the other numbers X are 60/X Hz :) (so 2 halves it, the 3 is 20 Hz, 4 is 15 Hz :) )

[Rewe]

Changing the computer refresh rate would influence at any way? or Vsync will rule over it?

FG has the nicer community i found in a long long time, every one is always so helpful

[Moon Wizard]

Just make sure that you have your graphics driver control panel set up to "Use application settings" for all 3D parameters. Many times, people will try to boost refresh rate through their control panel for every app; which will override any settings we specify. (We had one situation where someone was running at 1700 fps on the default screen.)
