is there a way to cap fps?

[Explosivo]

i dont think there is any point in having more an 70 fps (as thats as many as your eyes can see)

so is there any way of capping your fps? and would it put less stress on the gpu?

think i would cap mine at 50

i know in like css in the console you type:
"fps_max 50"

not sure if it's the same in other games

Some games, like source engine games you can cap the fps. I think its fps_max xx or max_fps xx with xx being the fps you'd like. Personaly I'd just stick vsync on or atleast set the fps cap to the same as your monitors refresh rate.

Are you using a CRT or LCD, if you enable V-SYNC and you're using a LCD that will cap you at 60FPS.
