What does the -freq command line argument do?

I understand and have seen the other command line arguments before but this is the first time I've seen -freq be used. What does it do?

It's likely the refresh rate. The author owns a monitor with a refresh rate of at least 280Hz, possibly even higher, but it is limited to maintain stable frames above that threshold. For those willing to invest, there are 360Hz monitors available. The author sets their maximum frame rate slightly above this frequency to allow for some tolerance when frames drop during intense battles. Intrigued by this idea, I personally tried it out by adjusting for my 240Hz monitor and using a 4070Ti graphics card. I must say, I've never experienced such incredibly smooth frame rates, even in the midst of intense fights. I want to give a big shout-out to the author for sharing this technique!

oh cool, good to know. did you also set yours 9Hz above your monitors refresh rate? basically, is 9 an important amount or can it be anywhere close to that amount?

not certain if that's some magical number. simply use RTSS and watch your variance. it might be personal preference of starting to notice the difference of frame spike drops greater than 10fps. it's gotta be some combo of personal preference and your own rig.
