turn v-sync off, it locks your fps at screen refresh rate, which in this case, is 60hz.

In your Nvidia control panel there is a setting call Vertical Sync or "v-sync". If this is forced on, and your monitor is a 60hz refresh rate monitor, you will never go above 60. Which in most cases is a good thing to prevent screen tearing. If it's not on in the control panel, odds are the game has it enabled by default and you just haven't changed that setting. You shouldn't need to go past 60. If your monitor is a 60hz monitor, there is no reason to. You won't see the difference.

If your monitor is 60hz then i recommend leaving vsync on since you can reach 60fps. Rendering more than 60fps on a 60hz monitor can actually cause problems if you run a game at too much FPS.

The only reason you may want to disable V-Sync, regardless of your monitor's refresh rate, is to lower input lag. I personally prefer screen tearing over input lag, but I guess that's why I'm neurotic and bought a 144Hz monitor 😛
