Does using FPS limiter limit CPU usage ?

Depends but most games are more GPU intensive so your CPu load will barely be affected. If you want to reduce CPU strain then you should lower terrain quality if there is a setting for that.

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

No.  If either of your hardware isn't bottlenecking each other you should be able to hit 100% CPU and 100% GPU usage

 

When you enable a FPS limiter your system can't hit 100% anymore, because it's being limited.. LOL idk but your CPU will most likely go down as long as the CPU isn't weak as balls

Linux "nerd".  If I helped you please like my post and maybe add me as a friend :)  ^_^!
