[Feature Request] Set refesh rate on a game by game basis

MarkH123456 · 03-31-2019, 06:43 AM #1

Hello, so I use a 144hz monitor with gsync and have the desktop refresh rate set to 120hz. I get stuttering on 30fps games unless I set the maximum refresh rate to 120hz and leave gsync on. In 60fps games, I get stuttering unless I set the maxiumum refresh rate to 60hz. IF any developer reads this, than could you please add the ability to set the monitor's refresh rate on a game by game basis?

That's not really possible outside of exclusive fullscreen. Even in exclusive fullscreen, each's API's support for this is rather spotty.

It's a work in progress: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/7803

Oh, ok. I just see some games that use DirectX, such as GTA V and CS:GO, that have the ability to change your monitors refresh rate in-game independent of the Window's setting while in exclusive mode, with the monitor's refresh rate going back to the OS settings when you alt-tab or close the game. I'm no software developer, but I would figure this would be fairly easy to add, it just hasen't been done yet.
