Ryujinx Performance Update: Managing High Refresh Displays on Pc and Mac
While GPU drivers control bulk frame delivery, they introduce slight millisecond variations between individual frame deliveries. RivaTuner Statistics Server (RTSS) remains the gold standard for stabilizing erratic frame pacing.
RTSS hooks directly into presentation APIs, Vulkan and OpenGL alike, and introduces minimal input latency settings. It holds back frame presentation at the CPU level with microsecond precision.
To configure RTSS:
- Open RTSS and click the Add button at the bottom left to link
Ryujinx.exe. - Highlight the Ryujinx profile and locate Framerate limit on the right pane.
- Input 60 directly into the field.
- Set Framerate limiter mode to Front Edge. This minimizes input latency compared to back-edge buffer holds.
- Keep RTSS running minimized in the system tray during emulation sessions.
This configuration flattens frame-time spikes into a straight line. Frame times settle cleanly at 16.66 milliseconds for 60 FPS titles, eliminating micro-stutters that driver-only limiters occasionally miss.
