more options of framerate limit

[Zephram Kerman]

My GPU heats up whenever any of the menus are left too long, but calms down when running the game. I noticed the framerate maxes out while using the menus. So I think it would be helpful to have a lower framerate limit.

Currently, the Graphics Settings dialog has "frame limit" options 180, 160, 140, 120, 100, 80, 60, and default. I would like to use 40, 30, maybe even 20 in order to spare my GPU. Presumably, this would be helpful to others as well.

Your thoughts?

Perhaps that was confusing? I want to add 40 FPS to the 'frame limit' option.

Anyone? Anyone?

Can u not just force vsync "on"? Depending on your moniter that will limit your frames.

If youre gpu is getting "too hot" then something is wrong.

Vsync is "on" by default (Every VBlank). But changing it to Every Second VBlank did the trick. Frame rate during the Space Center menu dropped from 60FPS to 30, which is all I wanted.

My graphics card fan spins up to full tilt in the R&D building and Astronaut Complex. I suspect that the vertical sync wait is not implemented everywhere.

I have limited FPS to 60 and have VSYNC enabled. Changing to Every Second VBlank did not help.
