Without vsync on, does using a frame limiter save power if your gpu generates higher fps over the limit?

If you lose frame limiter it will stop your GPU generating frames. So it will run slower and use less power.

Yes, if your GPU can potentially generate more frames than where the limiter is set, then you will save power.

Not unless the frame limiter is lower than vsync, in which case its pointless using vsync.
