Console Smoothness on PC

Why does 30 FPS feel smooth on a console but not on PC?

The answer is frame pacing.

framepacer is a high-precision framerate limiter for Windows that eliminates stutters and bad frame pacing. By ensuring every single picture is delivered to your screen with exact, identical timing, framepacer makes your PC games run with console smoothness in just one click.

Key Features

• Precise Frame Pacing: Standard in-game limiters and driver-level caps often fluctuate, causing micro-stutters. framepacer locks your frametimes to a perfectly flat line, giving you smooth gameplay.

• Max Out Your Graphics: Instead of wasting GPU power rendering hundreds of unnecessary frames, lock your framerate and use the extra performance for higher graphics settings, ray tracing, or increased resolution.

• Cool, Quiet, & Efficient: A stable framerate prevents your PC from working harder than it needs to. This significantly reduces GPU temperatures, quiets down loud fans, saves power, and extends the lifespan of your hardware.

• Change FPS Mid-Game: Unlike driver-level limiters that require you to restart your game to apply changes, framepacer allows you to change your target FPS anytime.

• Live Frametime Graph: See the smoothness for yourself. framepacer features a minimalist interface with a live frametime graph.

• Lightweight & Simple: One click is all it takes to achieve console smoothness.

Recommended Setup

Follow these steps for the ultimate console-like experience on your PC:

• 1. Set Your FPS Limit: Set a target that your PC can consistently maintain. To avoid conflicts, make sure to turn off all other in-game or driver-level limiters.

• 2. Match Your Monitor: Enable G-Sync/FreeSync (for gaming monitors with VRR) OR enable V-Sync in your game settings (for standard monitors with fixed refresh rates) to eliminate screen tearing.

• 3. Enable Motion Blur: Turn this on in your game's graphics settings. It mimics real camera exposure, filling the gaps between frames to soften quick camera movements.

• 4. Play with a Gamepad: Connect a controller. Analog sticks feel smooth at all FPS levels, whereas a mouse requires much higher FPS to feel the same.

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

Using framepacer in competitive games with aggressive anti-cheat (EAC, BattlEye, Vanguard) may result in bans. Use at your own risk. Always check a game's anti-cheat policy before using any frame-limiting utility.
