Rogue Company UNCAP Frame Limit Explained: Boost Your FPS Safely

UNCAP vs VSync: Choosing the Best Frame Limit Settings in Rogue Company

What each setting does

• UNCAP (Uncapped frame limit): removes the FPS ceiling so the game renders as many frames as your hardware allows — lowest input lag, highest FPS, more GPU/CPU usage.
• VSync (Vertical Sync): syncs game frames to your display’s refresh rate to eliminate screen tearing; can add input lag and cause stutter if FPS drops below refresh rate.

Pros and cons

• UNCAP
  • Pros: minimal input lag, smoother aiming responsiveness, can exceed monitor refresh rate for benchmarking.
  • Cons: possible screen tearing, higher system temps and power draw, inconsistent frame times if hardware is strained.
• VSync
  • Pros: removes tearing, can stabilise visual output.
  • Cons: added input lag, stuttering when FPS < refresh rate, caps FPS to display refresh.

Which to choose (practical recommendations)

• Competitive play / lowest latency: use UNCAP and disable VSync. Also enable a frame-rate limiter slightly above your monitor refresh (e.g., +5–10 FPS) if you want to reduce extreme GPU load while keeping low input lag.
• If you notice tearing but still want low latency: use Adaptive Sync / G-SYNC / FreeSync (if your monitor/GPU supports it) instead of VSync. It gives tear-free output with low lag.
• Smooth visual fidelity (single-player or relaxed play): enable VSync if you prefer no tearing and don’t mind input lag.
• When FPS frequently drops below your monitor refresh: use a stable FPS cap (e.g., 60 or your refresh rate) to avoid large swings that cause stutter.

In-game & GPU tips

• In Rogue Company settings: disable VSync for uncapped play; use the in-game frame limit or a command if you need a specific cap.
• Use your GPU driver/OS to set global VSync/adaptive sync preferences if needed.
• Lower graphics settings (shadows, particles) to keep FPS above your target refresh rate for smoother experience.

Quick checklist

1. Disable VSync for competitive uncapped play.
2. Prefer Adaptive Sync where available.
3. Set a modest FPS cap (+5–10 above refresh) to reduce GPU strain if needed.
4. Tune graphics to keep FPS stable above your monitor refresh.
