Can't limit fps (Solved)

Unity Engine

I am using

  • Unity 2019.3.0f1
  • Universal Render Pipeline with a 2D Renderer
  • Project Quality Setting Vsync Count = Every Second V Blank
  • Monitor: 4k at 60hz
  • Windows 10

Performance is being checked with Windows Task-Manager
Build Framerate is being checked with Geforce Experience

The goal is to keep the game resource-light as possible.

Game Running in Editor:

The game is running as reported from the stats menu at 30 FPS
At this rate, the Task-Manager is reporting 6% CPU / 20% GPU Usage. I would love to see that value also in the Build version.
Screen Res: 3532 x 1987

Game Running in Build:

The game is running around 1400 fps (jumping around a lot ~50).
Task Manager shows 40% CPU / 40% GPU Usage.
Vsync did not cap it so by browsing on the web I found Application.targetFrameRate and set it on awake to 30.
This did not change anything.
Screen Res: 3840 Ă— 2160 Fullscreen

The issue is that I want to cap it just like in the editor but for some reason, I am unable to.
I expect that URP with the 2D Renderer is causing it but I found no way of changing it to be capped at 30.

Can you try printing out QualitySettings.vsyncCount? Any chance it is set to some weird value?

Secondly, can you post the player log?

I uploaded the Player.log. I just renamed it to Player.txt since the forum didn’t like the file type.
VsyncCount has been reported with a 2.

Do you by any chance have VSync force disabled in your Nvidia Control Panel? What seems to be happening is that the engine tells the driver to use VSync but it ignores it for some reason.

Thank you dearly. I have forced Vsync On, inside the Nvidia Control Panel. The game is now being capped and performing how I would like it to be.

You might want to set it to “application controller” as otherwise you won’t be able to alter via in game settings if you choose to add that.
