Windows 10: Nvidia GeForce Driver 441.87 lets you limit frame rate

Nvidia has rolled out new GeForce driver 441.87 for Windows that bring support for setting the max frame rate for games or 3D apps.

According to Nvidia, this is the number one user-requested feature and users can limit the frame rate of their computers to save power or reduce system latency.

Frame rate is the ‘frequency’ in which a series of frames can appear on a display panel and it applies to media contents as well. Frame rate (frequency) is measured by frames per second (fps). If the frame rate is low or it fluctuates frequently, movement within 3D apps or games will appear jagged.

Nvidia GeForce driver 441.87 adds support for limiting the frame rate of 3D games. This feature can help users save power and also reduce system latency. Users can customize the frame rate preferences and improve the overall performance of the games.

How to limit the frame rate (FPS) on Windows

1. Open Nvidia Control Panel via search or select Nvidia Control Panel from the desktop’s right-click context menu.
2. Under 3D Settings, navigate to Manage 3D Settings.
3. In the next screen, you will find two sections – Global settings and Program Settings.
4. Under Global settings, you can limit FPS globally and changes are applied to all programs.
5. Under Program settings, you can limit FPS for a particular game or app.
6. After double-clicking on ‘Max frame rate’ entry, you can access a slider and set the desired FPS.
7. Click ‘OK’ to apply changes.

GeForce Driver 441.87


GeForce Driver 441.87 is a WHQL certified driver for 64-bit versions of Windows 10 and as well as Windows 7. The driver is not available for 32-bit system as Nvidia stopped creating 32-bit versions in 2019.

The update comes with two additional improvements. It introduces a new setting for Virtual Reality games and you can now toggle GPU scaling independently for desktop games.

You can download the driver from here.

Frame Rate Drop or Nvidia cards.

Frame Rate Drop or Nvidia cards.

I have noticed that since Microsoft pushed the creators update my graphic card performance suffered drastically. I have Nvidia 950 which prior to sordid chunk of code was peaking out at about 120fps win frame rate drop whatsoever. After the update on rare
occasions it hits 80 for about second and then drops to 30 or bellow. Quite a few users suffer from this issue but you seem to be in no hurry to push it through.

Preventing GPU-bound application frame rate to drop when window is out of focus

I'm trying to run 2 instances of the same GPU-bound application (OpenPose 1.5.1) on a relatively high-end system and I need each instance to run at the same speed. However, the performance varies greatly whether an instance is in focus or not. Here are the numbers (frame rate) I observed running 2 instances at a time:

• one on focus: ~21fps
  
• one out of focus: ~4fps
  
• both out of focus: ~11fps
  

Here is my configuration:

• OS: Windows 10 64-bit Pro v1803
  
• CPU: Intel I9-7920X@2.9GHz
  
• RAM: 64GB
  
• GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080Ti
  
• CUDA 10.1/CUDNN 7.6.3.30
  
• Nvidia Driver 436.48 (release date 10/01/2019)
  
• OpenPose 1.5.1
  
• OpenCV 4.1.1
  
• python 3.6.8
  
• Video source: 2 USB cameras, 1920x1080 @ 30fps
  

Clicking on a window to bring it in focus used to not change its frame rate, but somehow it now does. The previous config I had (that worked) differed from the above setup as follows:

• GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080Ti
  
• CUDA 8/CUDNN 7.2.1
  
• Nvidia Driver 430.xx
  
• OpenPose 1.4
  
• OpenCV 3.10
  

I think the solution might have something to do with the OS or the driver. Is there a way to have both instances run at the same speed regardless of whether they're in focus or not? Thank you in advance!
