It's not mandatory, i was just explaining how the whole thing works and assuming that 1C optimized their code to not demand all the juice, all the time from our PCs.
You could try a limiter, but if the dips in the frame rates don't go below 30 with the combination of PC and settings you use, i'd say it's not necessary.
Some people claim to be able to detect FPS differences at somewhat higher values (eg, saying they can see a difference between 40 and 80 FPS), so they are more easily annoyed by fluctuations or just a bit lower FPS values, but for most of the human population things are simpler.
If you can maintain a minimum of 30 FPS or above and the number doesn't fluctuate much (it's the fluctuation that causes stutters), you probably don't need an FPS limiter.
For example, the movies we watch in cinemas are shot at 24FPS, so that's probably the limit of perceiving "stutters" for the human eye.
