What Is an FPS Cap?
An FPS cap limits a game to a set frame rate, which can keep the picture steady for a stream.
The short answer
An FPS cap stops the game running faster than your stream can carry. A steady cap can make the stream smoother than a game running wild.
How to do it in Streamdzy
- Read the definition, then find the same word in Streamdzy: under Settings, in the scene, or on the Go live screen.
- Try it in a short test recording or a private stream, so the word means something you have seen.
- Read the feature page for it to see the settings, then set it up for your show.
- Check the pricing page for how use is counted. Every feature is free.
What to know first
Definitions are general; platforms and tools set their own limits and names, so check each platform’s guidance when a number matters to your show.
Questions
Should I cap the FPS?
Often yes for streams. Cap it at a rate your PC holds steadily.
