Hello Everybody,

So I started messing around and testing settings in RS3, and i just came up with best solutions well for my opinion anyway, but you can experiment :).

RS3 Settings

Reason I made this post is because your GPU should not be 100% constantly it could potentially damage it, since the game isn't optimised very well i just thought i make this suggestion to my fellow Runescapies.

Well to be honest i used to have a 780 GTX and it was always on 100% then the gpu burned out and because i still had warranty Gigabyte sent me a 970 for free.

I'm just afraid of that happening again that's all lol, i don't have a problem running this game to Ultra on 100%.

But my other question is seen has you have Foreground FPS and Background FPS, what exactly are they? would that be FPS that matches your monitor or? and what do you think MAX HZ runescape runs on? 60hz?

Thanks for the comments people your all helpful! :)

The Foreground FPS and Background FPS settings limit your framerate to whatever you set it to. I would recommend you set your Foreground FPS to your monitor's refresh rate + 10 (e.g. 70 for a 60Hz monitor). This will save your CPU and GPU from processing unnecessary frames while giving VSync enough room to give you a smooth image.

Foreground FPS is the limit used while the window is in focus, and Background FPS is the limit used when the window is not in focus, so you can set Background FPS quite low if you AFK a lot!
