120 FPS and Frame Rate Limits for Multiple Instances on LDPlayer 9
LDPlayer 9 may run games such as Arknights, Higan: Eruthyll, and Archeland at 120 FPS. NIKKE may run at up to 240 FPS. Below, you will find the single-instance frame rate setting. You will also find steps to reduce frame rates for several i
Before You Start
Prerequisites: LDPlayer 9. This guide was written for version 9.0.33.; Your PC hardware and the game must support the higher frame rate. Results vary between devices.; Check your monitor's refresh rate in Windows display settings before you choose 120 FPS.
Step-by-Step
- In LDPlayer 9 (version 9.0.33), open the drop-down menu and select Settings.
- Under Game settings, open the Frame rate drop-down.
- Choose 120 FPS. For NIKKE, choose 240 FPS.
- Click Save.
- Optional: click Menu > Display frame rate to show the frame rate in the top-left corner during play.
- In LDMultiplayer, check that each instance shows 60 FPS under Game Settings. This is the default.
- If an instance shows a different value, click the gear icon on that instance to reset it.
- At the bottom of LDMultiplayer, select Multi-open optimization.
- In the pop-up, drag the FPS bar to 10 to 20 FPS to open the most instances.
- If you run only three or four instances, drag the FPS bar to 30 to 50 FPS instead.
## Overview LDPlayer 9 may run games such as Arknights, Higan: Eruthyll, and Archeland at 120 FPS. NIKKE may run at up to 240 FPS. Below, you will find the single-instance frame rate setting. You will also find steps to reduce frame rates for several instances on a weaker PC.
## Why frame rate settings matter Frames per second (FPS) is how many images the game draws each second. A higher number can look smoother, but it asks more of your CPU and graphics. A lower number leaves more resources for other instances. Your monitor’s refresh rate also limits what you can see. A 60 Hz monitor cannot display more than 60 frames per second.
## What to expect After you save, the game should run at the selected rate if your hardware allows it. The frame rate can change during play, especially in busy scenes. Lower limits in multi-open mode should let more instances run at once, with each one drawing fewer frames.
## Verify With Display frame rate turned on, check the counter in the top-left corner while the game runs. It should show a value close to the FPS you selected, if your hardware allows it.
## Common mistakes
- Choosing 120 FPS or 240 FPS on a monitor that cannot display that rate.
- Using high FPS on a PC that already runs at full CPU or graphics load.
- Forgetting to reset an instance that still uses a different value.
- Testing with several instances open and assuming one instance will behave the same way.
## When not to do this On a lower-spec computer, keep the default or lower the FPS. High frame rates can increase heat and fan noise, and they can cause errors when many instances run together.
## Notes and Troubleshooting
- Frame rate can fluctuate because of differences between devices.
- The FPS setting only helps if your computer and the game support the higher frame rate.
- Running multiple instances depends on CPU, memory, and graphics memory. On lower-spec computers, use a lower FPS to avoid errors.
