Limiting FPS

FiveM needs an FPS limit mainly to prevent physics bugs, server desync, and unnecessary strain on your hardware.

Here's a quick breakdown:

• Game physics are tied to framerate: GTA V's engine, and by extension FiveM, bases some of its physics (like cars, ragdolls, collisions) partly on your FPS. If you have super high FPS (like 200+), weird things happen — cars bounce oddly, pedestrians fly, bullets miss, etc.

• Consistency for multiplayer sync: In a server with 64+ players, you want everyone experiencing the game similarly. If someone's running at 300 FPS and another at 30 FPS, things like movement prediction and hit registration can get messy.

• Performance and overheating protection: Capping FPS saves your GPU/CPU from working unnecessarily hard, which helps lower temps, extend hardware life, and prevent stuttering when you tab in/out.

• Server-side stability: Some FiveM servers enforce FPS limits to help the server itself stay smooth and avoid overload from players with wildly fluctuating frames.

• The GTA V Legacy (The only GTA V compliant with FiveM) version has an internal frame rate limit of 188 FPS, according to Reddit.

Typical limit settings:

• 60 FPS if you're on a potato

• 75–144 FPS for a good balance

• 144+ FPS only if you know your system and server can handle it

Potato's recommendation for all PC is 100-110 FPS

For Windows 11/Unconfirmed for Windows 10:

1. Go to your Desktop and right click somewhere blank

2. Select “Show More Options”

3. Click on NVIDIA 3D Settings

4. Mange 3D Settings >> Program Settings >> Add >> Browse

5. Paste the following directory into the path bar: %localappdata%\FiveM\FiveM.app\data\cache\subprocess

6. Select the build the server framework is on.
For example: FiveM_b3095_GTAProcess

Background Application Max Frame Rate	100 FPS
Max Frame Rate	100 FPS
Power Management Mode	Prefer Maximum Performance
Texture filtering – Anisotropic Sample Optimization	On
Texture Filtering – Quality	High Performance
Texture Filtering – Trilinear Optimization	On

7. Locate and change the following:
           

8. Apply >> Now try launching FiveM

1.      Go to your Desktop and select the Windows logo

2.      Type: AMD and select AMD Radeon

3.      Select Radeon Anti-Lag and toggle it On

4.      Then go to Radeon Chill >> toggle on Enable

5.      Change the Min (minimum) FPS 60

6.      Change the Max (maximum) to FPS 100-130

Start out with 100 being the max and test it out. If you don’t get micro lags, you can slowly increase it to 120, 130.

**I don’t have AMD so this is just what I remember in the past**
