Does FPS Cap reduce GPU/CPU stress/temp the same as V-Sync?

Does it? I never used V-Sync because every solution is bad.

TLDR: V-Sync is basically a glorified FPS Cap with buffering - and 'It's complicated'

Yes, it's like V-sync, but it does not synchronizes with the monitor, just caps the FPS at the preset level.

AMD's Crimson driver has a "target framerate" feature which is designed to do exactly your question.
