@livingforwards Are you playing in fullscreen or windowed mode? Vertical sync only works in fullscreen, although the max frame rate setting in the Nvidia CP should apply either way. If you'd like to play in windowed, or you just don't want to worry about fps running high, you can add another tool to force cap fps. Nvidia Inspector is one useful tool; screenshots and instructions are here, under the second spoiler:

If Inspector is a bit heavy for you, an alternative is RivaTuner Statistics Server, which only has a few options and works quite well. I've never had fps go over its limit while playing, at least not that I've noticed. Unlike the others, RTSS does need to be running while you play, so be sure to minimize it rather than Xing it out. The download is towards the bottom of the page here:

It's pretty easy to set up, but let me know if you need help. The one important thing to remember is to use TS3.exe for an Origin install or TS3W.exe (with the W) for a disc or Steam install.
