Hey guys I've switched off v-sync how ever I'd still like to cap my frame rate just so my gpu isn;t overworking any way I can do this?

I've tried iFPSClamp=60 in skyrimprefs but doesn't seem ow work.

Any ideas?

And don't say v-sync it really makes the game crawl when frame rate gets lower, with it off it gets kinda of jumpy but I still move at a normal rate which is a lot less annoying.
