Max FPS Slider only goes to 239

[smiRaphi]

I would like to set the fps to my monitors refresh rate without vsync but the fps slider only goes to 239 and from there to max, there isn't a single monitor with a refresh rate of 239hz, please make it extend to 240 before going to max

Setting the FPS slider to MAX uncaps the frame rate.

[smiRaphi]

Yes I know but I want to set it to 240 and not unlocked

If your refresh rate is 240Hz, you can use V-Sync with an uncapped frame rate.

[smiRaphi]

That's what I'm currently doing but I'd like to do it without V-Sync, besides that, there is no point in having the slider only go up to 239

[hyperbx]

What is the reason for needing V-Sync off in this use case?

[smiRaphi]

With V-Sync off I'm getting around 270 to 300fps in the town area but with it on it sometimes drops to around 190

Are you using a third-party profiler to check the frame rate (e.g. RivaTuner)? We have a profiler built-in if you press F1. That should give you more accurate metrics without doing any injection that could potentially also cause FPS drops.

[smiRaphi]

Checked with the built in one and it's still sometimes dropping to around 200 there and more often runs at 230ish

As a solution I can make 241 FPS act as the MAX value and let you lock your frame rate to 240.

[smiRaphi]

Yep, that sounds good

In general, I consider it a best practice for FPS cap sliders to allow any value up to 1000, so it covers future monitors that will go up to 1,000 Hz (prototypes have already been demonstrated). When you can set a max FPS value of 1000, there's not much point in allowing a true unlimited value.

Unfortunately, it's not great in terms of gamepad usability unless you have slider acceleration built-in (where holding the left stick/D-pad for a while scrolls through values faster over time).

We are on PC after all, a text input could work alongside the slider input maybe?
