If you cannot bear minimal screen tearing than I also had decent performance with this set up. I managed to minimize screen tearing and maximize performance by capping my framerates at 63 and also at 66. Also if you have stuttering on the intro video just toggle SweetFX off with Scroll Lock until the game has loaded. Make sure to disable these (post process to normal) and the impact is only 3-5 fps instead of 10-30fps. brb hahaĮdit 3: After some extensive testing I've come to the conclusion that vsync on means some lag no matter what. SweetFX (SMAA) has a much larger performance impact than it normally would with post processing and MSAA enabled in game. Then i'm going to try just plain old vsync with the forced high process/disabled aero. Also just playing in windowed mode may solve screen tearing.Įdit I'm trying some settings I found here, Ill report back if it seems to be better for my game.Įdit 2: Okay that definitely caused lag, but i'm interested in keeping disabled aero and forced high process, so I'm trying the game with just a double buffer now instead of triple buffering as well. You should try that bandicam that was recommend as well and see if it works better for your lag. I have no lag, but I also dont play with max lots being seen. So Vsync control is listed at Always On and for Display Refresh Rate I put in 60.

Īll of this is set from the Tweaks Tab and just in the Direct3D Tweaks.

How do you have your settings for RP set? I have
HOW TO USE SWEETFX WITH FPS LIMIT PRO
Well the good news is, Radeon Pro got rid of the screen tearing. I'd stick with that (and I'd suggest the OP try it before reverting to bandicam. It is not ideal and if you have a program that limits fps without all that hoopla. I always just started recording and then paused the recording, which forced Sims 3 to remain the active "window" for bandicam while I did whatever else I wanted on my second monitor while sims slept or worked.
HOW TO USE SWEETFX WITH FPS LIMIT FREE
Also, if you use dual monitors and/or alt+tab or in any way make Sims 3 not the active window, your fps will be free to run wild. Since I make videos anyways, it wasn't a big deal, just a bit annoying to make sure I started bandicam even when I wasn't recording. But bandicam is a recording software, so it worked but wasn't ideal. Wish I had heard of that one, I would have loved to try it. When I had AMD I tried several but didn't try Radeon Pro. Here's a link for what I'm using that works Is it better than Radeon pro? I'm more inclined to use something thats made by amd for amd. I personally couldn't get that game tab to do anything for me, but bandicam sounds okay.
