Are there any programs or software to limit the fps to a desired fps?

I'm asking about this because of new-gen games. My PC can run them, and I actually can get to 60fps if only I turn down the graphic setting a bit. However, I'm a person like to enjoy nice visual in gaming, so I always set the graphic from mid-high or above. In that case, my frame rates will drop. Then, the problem is in the game, some area I get 60fps and some drop down to 30fps, which will make the stuttering happens.

Now, I want to know are there any ways, programs, or software, which let you set your desire limit fps? like at 40fps, 45fps, 50fps,... Thank you.

My system:
- AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz (set at auto-multiplier x 210MHz, can go up to 4.3GHz with turbo)
- EVGA Geforce GTX 760 SC EVGA ACX Cooler 2GB (EVGA PrecisionX 16 overclocked)
+ Power Target: 115%
+ GPU Temp Target: 95'C
+ GPU Clock Offset: +65MHz
+ Mem Clock Offset: +450MHz
- 8GB RAM
- MSI 760GM-P34(FX) (MS-7641) Motherboard
- EVGA Bronze 600W PSU
 
Solution
There are two solution to your problem built into your video cards drivers.

1) Adaptive V-sync - This will keep V-sync on if you can reach 60 FPS, and turns it off once it can't. This prevents the massive FPS drop, and stops tearing when you reach 60 FPS.

2) Adaptive V-sync (half refresh rate) - This is like the above, but sets a FPS cap at 30 FPS for your system. And leaves V-sync on when you are at 30 FPS.

Playing with V-sync on at 40-50 FPS causes some stutter, which you may not like, but if you insist, you can download Nvidia inspector and set FPS limits on each game, dxtory, MSI afterburner of others. The only problem is, as far as I am aware, Nvidia don't allow FPS limiters and V-sync to function together.
