Limit FPS in RA2?

[FOTEPX]

My current computer is running RA2 at 3400FPS, which isn't really nessescary. Any way to dial it down, either in-game or otherwise?

I don't think it does any harm. If you're determined, you can set an FPS limit using nVidia inspector, or (I think) MSI Afterburner. Or you can force vsync for RA2, which will limit it to 60FPS.

It does do harm, 'cuz it overworks my GPU. I have an AMD card, so NVidia's inspector software won't do any good. MSI Afterburner doesn't limit FPS.

Go into AMD catalyst (think that's what it's called, AMD's nvidia control centre equivalent) and force enable VSYNC on for RA2.

But trust me, it's not overworking your card. You could probably remove your GFX card and get a few hundred FPS just on a decent CPU.

I'm not sure if AMD's options work in older games but have a look round the control centre (Crimson?) for like a force VSync setting.

Just tested using my 970, using RA2 at 1080p. Launched the game and did a test battle between 2 AI, once with VSYNC forced on once without. Both times my GPU raised like 3 degrees from idle temps.
I also had 16x Antisotropic Filtering and 4x AA forced.

Conclusion: I really don't think it matters. Out of curiosity, what card do you have?

AMD Radeon HD 7950. It used to gain an extra 20 degrees or so, but now that I've got a new fan, the problem isn't as bad. Still noticeable, though.
