For those wanting to cap the frame-rate to 30fps on NVIDIA - engaging Adaptive VSync via the control panel is the best way to go about in its current state. The game is using custom (Ultra-High) settings, rendering at 1080p in this video.

Issues:
- In-game VSync incurs a performance hit
- Using RivaTuner to cap the frame-rate to 30fps exhibits constant micro-stutters
- Nvidia Inspector tool has the same issue as RT above

PC Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
GPU: Asus Strix GTX 970 OC Edition
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB 3200 MHz CL14 - 2x8GB
MB: MSI B450M Mortar

Graphics driver ver: 451.67

Recorded with: NVIDIA ShadowPlay
OS: Windows 10 64-bit

Programs used for HW & frame-rate monitoring:
MSI Afterburner with RivaTuner
