Using RivaTuner Statistic Server
For anyone who does not have a graphics card installed, you may find several third-party tools to limit FPS. I use theRivaTuner Statistic Serverthat comes along withMSI Afterburnerand recommend the same.

Most games have a Vsync setting that allows you to limit your gameFPS to the monitor’s refresh rate.
For example, if you have a60Hz monitor,enabling Vsynccaps the FPS to60 frames or lower. Similarly, on a120Hz monitor, it caps the frames to120 or lower.
Some even allow you to setVsync to half. For instance, on a 60 Hz monitor, the game will run at 30 FPS or lower.
Vsync settings are available ingraphics or advanced settingswithin the games. Set it toone or halfas per your choice.
Unfortunately, Vsync may causeslight input lag, and you cannot set an arbitrary value.
