How to limit/cap FPS in games?

[IlDuceSaint]

Hey folks,

im asking if you know how to cap FPS, for example i get 200 fps in a game, but i want to cap it at 70 fps, cuz i dont want to the GPU and CPU to work more than i want to them to work,

cuz i dont have a 120hz monitor, i have 60hz, so whats the point to get it to 200fps, if i dont see difference, so if you know how to cap fps, tell me please

thanks in advance

If your CPU and GPU aren't working, they're sitting there being useless

 

Vsync is what you want though.

I use Riva Tuner to cap my FPS at 100 (Riva tuner comes with MSI Afterburner)

they are working, but why do they need to overheat for things that i dont see necessary

You can use RivaTuner to cap fps, ignore the people who are saying vsync it's not the same thing.

Ask Ubisoft about capping framerates.  They can help you .....

or hurt you actually.

Actually they might end up killing the performance and forcing you to use 6gb of vram instead  :lol:
