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)
http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/...
--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.
OPTIONAL: If you are not able to see the option for limiting your FPS in the OSD Driver application, then I recommend downloading the most recent BETA version (as of video: 300Beta10) and the new OSD Driver: RTSSSetup520-[Guru3D.com].exe from www.guru3d.com - It is much cleaner
