How do I limit the framerate on L4D2?

[Lerchs]

My video card is overheating and wasting energy getting 300 fps and I'd like to know if there's a way to limit my framerate. Please don't tell me to enable vsync because that thing ruins my mouse precision with lag.

It's not possible to lock the FPS in Left 4 Dead 2.

There's gotta be a way.

I've heard that dxtory, when opened whilst playing a game, will limit the fps of any game. Or try using MSI Afterburner.

First world problems. I would also like to know though.

If you have nvidia gpu, then you can download nvidia inspector. And limit the frames with that.

usually you just V-sync and it framelocks your card.

He already said, vsync is not an option, due to mouse precision lag :)

I have an amd video card (r9 290). I can't lock the framerate on catalyst. Sorry for not saying what video card I had, my mistake.
By the way, thanks for trying to help guys. :)

Then you might wanna check out radeonpro

And you can lock the frames in catalyst. I think its called Frame rate control. But I dont know if its the same as vsync. But check my link above anyways, for a fps limit.

It appears you can also use msi afterburner. Look at link for screenshot at post #6.

But even in that topic, they also talk about radeonpro. As I did mention above.

Try go to Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2\cfg and find config.cfg
And write fps_max x in pile of commands and save. It works

this discusion is dead

[Lerchs]

Tested what Brown said, it doesn't work on Left 4 Dead 2. It works on CSGO thought, but that's something I was already aware.
