Since patch 1.07 bad graphics performance

Missing throttle frame rate function might be the culprit

from Elemental Forums

Hi,

Since patch 1.07 I do have very bad graphics performance.

I had the same problems with older versions as long as I did not turn on throttle frame rate and set it to something lower than 41. So I guess the problem is related to the now missing throttle frame rate function. Is there anything I can do to get that function back?

Update:

I found out what causes the problem:

+ Added new framerate limiter ( limits framerate to refresh rate of device )
- Removed throttle framerates option (this is always on now)

...

 

This causes the stuttering on my machine.

With the old system I was able to limit the frame rate to 40 and everything ran smooth. Now it is always stuttering because the frame rate is tight to my refresh rate of 60MHz.

Please re-enable the option to set the frame rate limit lower than the refresh rate.

Do you only see stuttering when you edge scroll / pan?

No, I do not use edge scrolling, but yes it only occurs while panning.

Is the performance better when you disable outlines under the video options?
