Chrome, Linux Mint, Low FPS in gamesLenovo Ideapad 330-15ICH overheats in Kubuntu 18.04 only
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
System
Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon 64-bit, based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Related Hardware
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700HQ (Ark Intel)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (Max-Q Design)
Screen: 4K laptop 15.6 inch display (UHD 3840 x 2160)
Problem
There are about 200 - 300 FPS while playing any non-GPU-heavy game, so I'm thinking there is a lot of power being wasted, and my hardware is overheating if such a game is in the foreground for many hours straight. Additionally, even if you don't pay the electricity bills, I think my hardware is more prone to fault if playing on a maximum frame-rate, which in ordinary games can be the above stated, hardly believable, 300 FPS.
Question
How can I set an FPS limit for all games on my Nvidia-based hardware? If not possible, such games are for instance Hexcells franchise to name a few.

Solution for Ubuntu 18.04 based systems
This solution utilizes V-Sync (Vertical Synchronization). If you don't like using it, this solution is not for you.
Thank you, Xander, for the comment on enabling V-Sync. With this hint, I was able to find out, that I only need to do the following steps.
Create the following new (if not yet existing) file in your favorite text editor:
/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-drm-nomodeset.conf
Put this single line in there, save and close the file; in case the file exists already, then ensure this line is there:
options nvidia-drm modeset=1
Update all of your
initramfsimages with:
sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
or if you only want to test it, you can update just the latest image with:
sudo update-initramfs -u
Reboot your system.
The V-Sync shall be on now, verify with:
sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset
It will say:
Y
if V-Sync is On
N
if V-Sync is Off
You should be done now, capped to your monitor refresh rate (usually 60).
In spite, I am satisfied with this solution, feel free to add your own (AMD-specific, Intel-specific, whatever...)
