Limit FPS - MSI Afterburner

Laptops and desktops sometimes generate much more heat than the user would like. Some games use 100% system resources and generate more frames than you actually need to play. I will discuss a possible solution. You can also use this to limit your FPS so you do not get screen tearing and never use vsync again! NOTE: I will put out a video soon on how to use MSI Afterburner to capture video, as this is what I always use and love it. --STEP 1 Download the recent version of MSI After Burner (2.3.1 released: 2013/1/23) --STEP 2 Install MSI Afterburner, read the end user agreement. If you do not agree, than do not install. MSI is not responsible for any negative effects on your computer. --STEP 3 Start MSI Afterburner and go into the settings menu. --STEP 4 Go into the "Monitoring" tab and select "Framerate" in the active hardware monitoring section. Check the tick box to enable "Show in On Screen Display." (You can also monitor other values, I like GPU temperature and load to be displayed.) --STEP 5 Go into the "On-Screen Display" tab and select what shortcut you would like for "Toggle On-Screen Display" --STEP 6 Exit the settings menu by selecting "OK" on the bottom part of the form. --STEP 7 Open the new "MSI On-Screen Display Server" icon in your system tray. --STEP 8 Click on the wrench on the upper right for server properties and change your frame limit.
