Check My PC →What limits performance in Fallout: New Vegas
Your monitor's refresh rate, or the graphics card if it is slower. V-sync is always on, even when unticked in the launcher (PCGamingWiki), so the frame rate stops at your monitor's refresh rate; forcing it off makes the game run at the wrong speed above 60 FPS. Any recent card draws more than 60 FPS here, and each figure below shows what the card alone would reach.
