AMD propaganda wants to make us believe frame rate control saves power? - NOPE no such thing at least here!
A FC4 screenshot below including my wattages (sys idle/loaded) and the current game frame rate displayed (top left)
MY FRTC is set to max 80FPS.

This means a frame rate of just 21 is pulling full juice from the pwr grid - nearly 360 watts which translates to ~240W for the GPU alone! (in signature). Beware your next power bill especially in electricity high price countries like Australia or the EU.
