My solution was to grab the CPU fan off an old celeron 1600 and slap it on the passive heatsink and it works like a charm.

-no really stop laughing-
Lol
Well i mounted the old stock heatsink of a athlon xp to my old laptop to keep the cpu cool.
And at work a fan failed of the gfx card of the server.
Not a problem i slapped the old heatsink on it from my old radeon1650 and soldered the fan wires to the old fan connector.
Works like a charm.

I know, this thread is quite old. But because of my own experience on my new system, i post my solution here. Hope this helps others with the same problem:

For newer AMD cards (i have an RX470) there is also a new "Radeon Software", where one can set such options. If i just force "vsync" there, it does also not working, and X3TC climbing up to insane high fps. But "Radeon Settings" also have an option called "Frame Rate Target Control" in the same tab as you can the vsync option. Enable FRTC and set it to 60 fps works like a charme, i have now 60 fps in X3TC.

Maybe this helps others and eventually the nvidia settings have something similiar? I don't know for sure about nvidia, because i have none, sorry.

That's three 8 year old threads you've dredged up to post the same answer. One would have been more than enough.
