Pretty much all there is to it, browsed steam forums for a bit, seems like I'm not the one who's having problems with it (GPU overheating due to lack of an FPS cap)
Usual v-sync stuff doesn't seem to work (forcing it via nvidia control panel doesn't help either)
Something similar to fps_max command in Valve games d be nice.
What GPU?
7970 here and no issues.
If your GPU is overheating just because it's being used 100%, then you should probably try and fix that instead...
You probably have to cap your gpu to stop it overheating, or get a new one. r9 280x are the hotest gpu's and I have no problem with overheating when playing Rust.
specs?
If you have a Nvidia gpu you can enable adaptive v-sync in the nvidia control panel, which works surprisingly well. I never see screen tearing with it turned on.

Post specs, i'm kind of curious what you're running

Are you replying to this thread thinking it's about turning vsync on, or are you saying that that somehow will cap Rust's frame rate?
Because the thread is about the fact that even forcing vsync on in the Nvidia control panel is not capping Rust's fps for the OP, and the game doesn't have a built-in frame limiter at the moment, so some cards may overheat while playing Rust.
Unless adaptive vsync is a separate option to "regular" vsync in the Nvidia control panel, you should re-read the thread carefully.
The guy just wants a damn FPS max command, I have a great GPU and still want one of those for recording etc.

Weren't you leaving FP?
Back on topic, an fps limiter or a max FPS command is likely coming in the future. Remember, it's alpha. The to-do list is long.
If your PC is overheating from being pushed to its limit(100% usage) i dont think the problem is fully within the game. Ive had my PC running at 100% for 4 hours and barely hit 75C no shutdowns or issues.
While i wont argue that a FPS cap would be good to have, and would solve alot of issues for some people, i think you need to look into ways to prevent overheating crashes/shutdowns. Anything from as simple as de-dusting your PC to getting cooling systems and more fans.
You could also have an older card that just doesnt withstand heat like newer ones. i know one of my gaming buddies was having similar issues with rust on his wifes PC, which is using roughly 3-4 year old internals. They ended up patching whatever was causing it, but he needed to play without his side panel on for rust, as he was forced to 100% CPU and GPU usage when it ran. His newer system did the exact same thing, only it wouldn't shutdown because of it, and actually ran at a hotter temp on average than his wifes would shutdown at.
First off, if your GPU is overheating from rust you need to clean your fans or get better airflow. Second, you can limit your fps with MSI afterburner and lots of programs. Forcing vsync with AMD cards work, game has vsync but are you even hitting your refresh rate?

The OP explicitly states that forcing Vsync in the Nvidia control panel doesn't work for him.
However, the OP hasn't come back to us with his specs yet, and you raise a good point about overheating due to bad air circulation.
Really, there's nothing more to be done until OP tells us his specs, or garry adds a frame limiter.

The reason I said AMD cards works is that it suggests that something needs to be done in nvidias drivers, nothing else. Untill it works I suggest he uses a third party frame limiter (msi afterburner).
EDIT: Btw this game is heavily CPU limited. If he runs the game on fastest it might hit the CPU wall before it hits 100% gpu utilization.

Oh yes I do agree one is in order and no i'm not leaving instead of banning me for that post completely against Facepunch the mod only read the title and banned me for a day with "Title not like post" which is incredibly ironic.

Yup. I have the same problem with a couple of other games that doesn't have an option to limit fps (Warlock, L4D2). V-sync doesn't seem to help there either. In L4D2 temp goes up to 75+ in menu alone.
Obstructed airflow or dusty internals are not the problem here though, i keep things clean and in any other game (BF4, Titanfall and many others) my GPU sits at comfy ~70C with fans going at default speed.
Specs:
CPU - QuadCore Intel Core i5-760, 2800 MHz
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3
GPU - Gainward GeForce GTX 460 1024MB
Memory - Kingston HyperX 8192MB PC12800 1600MHz
HDD - SATA-3 1Tb Seagate 7200 SV35
I will try this MSI afterburn thingy and report back in a couple of hours
What temp does it overheat at?
For me it seems like a cooler issue since you're overheating in games that are not CPU/drawcall bound, which means that the GPU can render 100+ frames per second. Your card should not overheat if you have decent airflow.
Depending on your countries laws, check if the card can be RMA'ed. There has to be something physically wrong with your card if it overheats.
75c is not overheating for a video card
Open the console with F1 and type render.frames 60 or any other frame cap you want (-1 the default is unlimited)
alternatively you could set: render.vsync True
You can download D3D overrider or download Evga PrecisionX to limit your fps at any game.I'm using Precision and it works quite well,limited to 60 without no input lag issue and such.
Ps:Dude you are using a Fermi Gpu 75c is nothing for these cards.
When he said "overheating" in the OP I thought he ment he was getting artifacts, downclocking or bad performance etc. 75c for Fermi as the guy above me said, is nothing.
still no specs,no explanation.
-on second thought, no-
I too agree that Rust needs Vsync options, just because 60 FPS on the dot looks a lot better (no screen tearing) than vsync disabled (screen tearing and judder)
But if your GPU melts with vsync disabled..... don't you think something is wrong with it? Seems odd to blame a game on something that's obviously a hardware issue.
Quite a few good advices here, managed to fix my problem with MSI afterburner, however render.frames command doesn't help. Will check [QUOTE]You can download D3D overrider or download Evga PrecisionX to limit your fps at any game[/QUOTE] later on, FOR SCIENCE.
To people asking for specs, i posted them above.

Regarding overheating, 75C is gpu temp in L4D2 MENU, dont take things out of context. In RUST it goes up to 85-90 in game, which is a bit too much for my liking. Problem is that game forces my gpu to work on 50~ extra frames above threshold (i have 75hz monitor), which is completely redundant and pointless.
Counter-strike:Global Offensive (or any other valve game besides L4D2) is a good example of how this works, it has a base fps cap of 300 (i don't even know why), if you leave it at that, my gpu will go ahead and try to get to that number, heating up in the process, even though my monitor can't handle anything above 75fps (gameplay or picture remain unaffected beyond that point). However if i limit fps cap to say 75 (or good old 101 even) in console via fps_max command, my gpu temps go down to a reasonable number and everything is fine and dandy.
It's the winter, therefore, heaters are going to be blasting.
A cold room makes 20 degrees of a difference. 40c is good in game. 70c is acceptable but you want it to be 20-30 idle, 40-60 gaming.
Once it hits 80 or, even worse, 90, you'll have real issues.
big issues are when its 80 outside,you have the heater on(accident),and your laptop is really hot by its self(happened before,smelled like it was smoking) xD
