Why is the engine frame-rate limited?

[Kleetus]

Fpslimit is a very welcome and needed option to prevent certain configs from rendering at >100fps and functioning as a room heater.

You have to be kidding....

I have no idea what you mean with 'same as vsync

Then read my post again, I was very clear and precise.

Again, on my system it limits my frame-rate to 60FPS. That's the same as enabling Vsync.

If vsync is off you can't expect to get rid of screen tearing simply by turning off fpslimit and reaching 80 fps.

I'll make it crystal clear for you, as you didn't understand what I said:

With it set to true (default), my frame-rate is locked to 60FPS (even with Vsync off), and yet I still get screen tearing.
