While I am on a menu of a game such as Rust or H1Z1 for example, my fps goes to insane numbers when it is obviously not need. When it says it is getting 500+ fps it is making my gpu usage increase as well as the temperature as it should if I was actually playing something. I know about v-sync, that fixes it because it auto caps at 60 but while playing games while its locked on 60 it doesn't look good and I can tell. I have asked my friends if theirs is the same they said no, on the menus theirs says around 100 fps, and they do not have v-sync on. Hopefully someone can help me with this maybe a setting or something just needs to be changed that I am not aware of.

Gpu: AMD Radeon HD 7970 3gb

Thanks Again,
-Chad

If you're using the Crimson software suite, go to Gaming>Global Settings, the set the framerate limit to something reasonable; 60FPS if you have a normal 60Hz monitor, or higher if you have a high refresh or Freesync display.

Isn't that just the same as having v-sync, if I just lock it at 60fps. Doing that will just make my gpu usage not run as much resulting in me getting less fps while actually playing in a game. Could there have been a setting that maybe unlocked fps cap in menus or something along those lines.

Picture of settings.

Not as far as I know.
If you are running a Freesync or high refresh display, just set the framerate target to the monitors refresh rate, ( I've a 144 Hz display so have set FRTC to 144 and 144Hz as the refresh rate in the Windows options), there's no point in setting it higher than the monitors refresh rate, all you'll get is a mess of screen tearing.

My monitor is 60hz so just lock the frame rate targeting control at 60fps.
