External frame limiter is absolutely crucial when playing older games.Do not rely on the game's vertical sync or refresh rate.

I use RivaTuner myself.

I lost an almost new R9 390X a while back going on a nostalgia trip with GTA3.Old games sometimes have a tendency to make powerful new GPUs rev up thousands of frames per second,you can even hear the card buzz,to prevent this using frame limiter software is A MUST.I couldn't figure out why my case was buzzing in time and in a few days the card started to artifact and then wouldn't boot up at all.
