Max FPS Slider only goes to 239

[smiRaphi]

I would like to set the fps to my monitors refresh rate without vsync but the fps slider only goes to 239 and from there to max, there isn't a single monitor with a refresh rate of 239hz, please make it extend to 240 before going to max

Setting the FPS slider to MAX uncaps the frame rate.

[smiRaphi]

Yes I know but I want to set it to 240 and not unlocked

If your refresh rate is 240Hz, you can use V-Sync with an uncapped frame rate.

[smiRaphi]

That's what I'm currently doing but I'd like to do it without V-Sync, besides that, there is no point in having the slider only go up to 239

[hyperbx]

What is the reason for needing V-Sync off in this use case?

[smiRaphi]

With V-Sync off I'm getting around 270 to 300fps in the town area but with it on it sometimes drops to around 190

[hyperbx]

Are you using a third-party profiler to check the frame rate (e.g. RivaTuner)? We have a profiler built-in if you press F1. That should give you more accurate metrics without doing any injection that could potentially also cause FPS drops.

[smiRaphi]

Checked with the built in one and it's still sometimes dropping to around 200 there and more often runs at 230ish

As a solution I can make 241 FPS act as the MAX value and let you lock your frame rate to 240.

[smiRaphi]

Yep, that sounds good

In general, I consider it a best practice for FPS cap sliders to allow any value up to 1000, so it covers future monitors that will go up to 1,000 Hz (prototypes have already been demonstrated). When you can set a max FPS value of 1000, there's not much point in allowing a true unlimited value.

Unfortunately, it's not great in terms of gamepad usability unless you have slider acceleration built-in (where holding the left stick/D-pad for a while scrolls through values faster over time).

We are on PC after all, a text input could work alongside the slider input maybe?

That could work if the slider uses larger increments while using a gamepad.

If I can throw in my two cents into this, I feel like the FPS Slider should at least cap up until the rounded number of the Display's Refresh rate, with a future cap to around 1000 FPS like what @Calinou said.
It would, of course, need some testing to make sure something like that would even work without it causing any issues but it would be very helpful to see what other FPS issues can occur, among other things.

Also in a case like mine, using V-Sync isn't really feasible because for whatever reason, having it on actually causes some screen tearing.
