But I still don't understand why I don't actually see the fps how they should be in the counter.
I mean, I should be able tu see the high number of frames, like 150 or 120Fps, with After Burner, even if the screen isn't powerful enough.

You don't see the frames because the tv cannot display them. It cannot refresh the screen more than 60 times in a second. FPS isn't the same thing. Your GPU is rendering all the frames you see in the counter, your monitor is only displaying 60 of those frames in a second. A third party program won't do anything.

My monitor is 144hz, my FPS is 180, that's 36FPS my monitor cannot display, it's just overhead.

So I Guess my Gpu Can't work at his best with a weak TV like mine.
If the solution is to buy a new monitor, then I think is the best case.
Because I wouldn't want that my GPU was defective from the time I bought it, losing the chance to give it back.

It's not defective you just need a new monitor.
