Optimal FPS & refresh rate via Stutter Remover ?

[Saul]

Was watching an old 2012 Gopher video on "performance & stability"  and I'm curious to know if his advice on capping the FPS (via stutter remover ini settings)  is still relevant for today or not ?

 

If yes,  and I cap my FPS @ 60, is there an optimal refresh rate for my monitor to compliment the FPS ?

Still some great nuggets of information from those  early videos  - back in the day :-)

To my knowledge, you should set your refresh rate to 60 if you're using V-Sync and you're consistently getting 60fps in-game. If not, turn V-Sync off and it won't really matter what your refresh rate is.

I've read that capping your FPS at 1/2 or 1/3 of your monitor's refresh rate is recommended in Kelmych's guide, but I'm not sure of the reasoning behind it. I've seen a lot more evidence of the game having errors past 60, or just breaking altogether once you get around 70-80 since the game's physics are tied to your framerate for some reason. 

 

I have it capped to 60 in my Fallout Stutter Removal's .ini file, and don't really see any problems.
