framerategräns

A framerategräns, often translated as framerate cap or frame limit, is a setting within video games or other graphics-intensive applications that restricts the maximum number of frames per second (FPS) that the software can render. This limit is typically set by the user or by the game's developers. The primary purpose of a framerategräns is to achieve a more consistent and smoother visual experience. When a game runs at very high and fluctuating frame rates, it can sometimes lead to visual stuttering or tearing, where parts of the screen display different frames.

Implementing a framerategräns can also be beneficial for system stability and resource management. By limiting the GPU's workload, it can reduce heat generation and prevent excessive power consumption, which can be particularly important for laptops or systems with less robust cooling. In some cases, capping the framerate can also help alleviate input lag, as it can synchronize the rendering of new frames with the display's refresh rate more effectively, leading to a more responsive feel. Conversely, setting a framerategräns too low can result in a perceived lack of smoothness and a less fluid gameplay experience. The optimal framerategräns often depends on the specific hardware, the game's engine, and individual user preferences.
