frl-tray

frl-tray is a simple Windows system tray utility that allows you to quickly view and set Nvidia's Max Frame Rate setting, also known as FRL (Frame Rate Limit). It's a GUI front-end for the frl-toggle CLI utility. This is intended to be useful in the case where you want quick manual access to this setting. Otherwise, you can use frl-toggle, or manage the FRL in the Nvidia App or Nvidia Control Panel.

Features

• Easily see and select the current FRL
• Minimal tray interface
• Currently, the FRL is checked once when the app is started, and then only reflects changes made from the frl-tray utility

Prerequisites

• Windows (tested on Windows 11 only)
• Nvidia GPU with support for the Max Frame Rate setting
