See High frame rate for specifics.

See the glossary page for potential alternatives.
The game engine may allow for manual configuration of the game via its variables. See the Unity page for more details.

High frame rate

When Vsync is enabled in the settings of the game, the framerate is locked to the refresh rate.[7] When disabled, the game is locked to 60 FPS.[8]
Uncap the frame rate regardless of refresh rate using Special K[9][dubious – discuss]
  1. Enable Vsync in the settings of the game.
  2. Install Special K locally for the game by moving the SpecialK64.dll to the game folder and renaming it to dxgi.dll
  3. Run the game once, and then close it.
  4. Open dxgi.ini in a text editor and change PresentationInterval=-1 to PresentationInterval=0
  5. Run the game and confirm that the frame rate is uncapped.

Notes:

Vsync must be enabled in the settings of the game for this override to work.
