Thus, you had better repair your game files. The FPS cap will be enabled until you restart the game.
Screen tearing is always there when not using vsync or gsync but less visible with higher frame rates. When I enable vertical sync, the FPS locks in at 60 FPS. You are going to want your fps cap to be double your (monitor refresh rate x 2)+1. And, I still don't understand exactly why a game like BF3 (and others) doesn't change my FPS when VSync is enabled. Here’s how you can get higher FPS on Apex Legends and avoid the 144FPS cap on PC.
When it gets low - under 30 - the game may become virtually unplayable. So I'd say capped 60 is probably best for most. Frame rate may also be called the frame frequency, and be expressed in hertz.
