Note for NVIDIA, the option above is only available on driver version 441.87 and above (update your driver if you haven’t yet), this is unfortunately only for Kepler and newer chip generation.

But fortunately for previous driver version, Nvidia actually has “hidden frame rate limiter”. So If your nvidia card is Fermi or older, you can try Nvidia Profile Inspector instead:

Just go click on release, follow similar step as OP, and set “Frame Rate Limiter”

Note: The “Frame Rate Limiter V3” is basically the same one found in Nvidia Control Panel for newer drivers.

Another alternative to limit FPS is using VSync, this is available in GTA V settings, but only based on monitor refresh rate, e.g. 60 Hz VSync = limited at 60 FPS, Half VSync = limited at 30 FPS.
Please note that enabling VSync may decrease performance, YMMV.
