‘‘Framerate you ideally want to play at.If your framerate if below this number,dynamic systems will reduce graphics quality to attempt to hit this framerate.’’
Its set to 60 in BGs and open world with much bigger FPS and it does nothing.
Do I understand this right and your FPS is above 60?
Target framerate takes effect, if your FPS goes below the value you have set. Let’s say you set Target FPS to 60. If your fps is >60 nothing happens. But if your FPS dips below 60 the game tries to lower your resolution and graphics quality to try and keep it at 60 FPS.
If you want to limit your FPS at 60 you’re looking for Max Foreground FPS.

Hey, I know what target FPS is for but it doesn’t really work. Why? When I have drops to 40-30 FPS it changes nothing.
Exactly what i said above.If im in asharan my fps dips to 40 for example and nothing changes graphically even though ‘‘target fps’’ is set to 60.It should lower settings which it doesnt.And i get screen flickering with ‘‘max foreground fps’’ capped to 60,i use vsync instead.
Target FPS works only with settings set to “dynamic” (like amount of particle effects") - if the FPS is below that value then it will lower the dynamic setting down to achieve the FPS. Target FPS is not a FPS limit. That’s the first option there for.
For it to work you have to have some things set to dynamic value (right now it’s the particle effects if I recall correctly) and the FPS limit must be a GPU related one. If it’s a pure CPU bottleneck then it won’t scale.

I have dynamic settings and it’s not working at all.
I didn’t know about this setting, would be great if it worked.
But from what I can tell checking the ctrl+alt+delete tab (forgot what it’s called in English) WoW isn’t using neither the CPU or GPU to max in questing gameplay. I have settings on max and there is still some lag. Haven’t checked in raids and bg.
Its set to dynamic,doesnt work.
Then either they bugged out or the FPS drop isn’t related to GPU (or that setting).
Sometimes FPS gated for CPU, not GPU.
I’ve seen the target fps setting work a few times when doing things like killing world bosses with 39 other people, other than that I’ve not seen it at all.
I have mine set to 60 and I’m using 75hz monitor.
Yep, that’s a likely scenario as it would start diabling effects of other players abilities.
I think it only effects spell detail if that is set to dynamic
