Are you experiencing high GPU utilization with Godless running at unnecessary frame rates? This guide will show you how to lock your FPS to reduce GPU usage, ensuring a smoother and more efficient gaming experience.
Why to Lock Your FPS:
Godless is an impressive game, but it doesn’t require running at 300+ FPS, consuming 100% of your GPU resources unnecessarily. This can lead to overheating and decreased performance in other applications. By locking your FPS, you can optimize your GPU usage and maintain a stable frame rate.
How to lock your FPS
- Open the NVIDIA Control panel (press the windows key and search for ‘NVIDIA’.
- Go to ‘Manage 3D Settings’.
- Go to ‘Program Settings’.
- Select Godless.exe as the program to customize (you will likely need to add it to the list through ‘add’ (This is easier if you have godless started, since it should be the first in the ‘add’ list)).
- Scroll down to ‘Max Frame Rate’.
- Set the Frame Rate to your desired value.
- Done (might need to restart your game).
This, obviously, only works if you’re using an NVIDIA Graphics card.
Conclusion:
By following these simple steps, you can effectively manage your GPU’s workload and ensure that Godless runs smoothly without maxing out your hardware. Remember, optimizing your settings can lead to a better overall gaming experience and extend the life of your components.
