Vsync is where the video card limits the actual framerate to the vertical 
scan rate.   Or refresh rate.   I think that's why your framerate is almost 
exactly 60 fps :)
You simply disable VSYNC.  Where the option is depends on which vintage of 
driver you're using.  in 77.77 you go to Performance and Quality Settings 
tab.
