Frame Limiter

[bakgwailo]

A frame limiter would be really nice for people using Freesync monitors to be able to cap max FPS of a game under the max VRR refresh rate of the monitor. NVIDIA at least has one built into their driver in Windows, but, nothing for Linux. There is, however, libstrangle which should work with all GPU vendors: https://github.com/milaq/libstrangle .

It would be pretty neat/slick if gamemode could integrate with and automatically set this for any game using game mode - maybe just allow a global max fps config option and then detect if it is installed or not to activate.

I don't think there is any reason to implement this into gamemode. The GAMEMODERUNEXEC variable was introduced to add anything that isn't directly performance related or only applies to a very small group of people.
