The Frame Per Second Script on UNIFY COMMUNITY (HUDFPS) always shows me 60 FPS fixed
Why its showing me fixed 60 FPS ? Is my game is being fixed by Unity3D at 60FPS or not more than 60FPS

Also why the reading on FPS in STATS is different

This happens because you have VSYNC enabled. Go to:

Edit->Project Settings->Quality

The default quality profile is “Good”, so expand “Good”, and set “VSYNC Count” to “Don’t Sync”.

It seems that even with VSYNC off Unity runs at 60 to 65 max fps in PC machines (I tested this in my PC, and several other PC users have reported the same). I suspect some hardware feature made Unity to adopt this limit in PCs - MACs seem to not have this limitation.

To un-limit the framerate completely, it's necessary to both disable VSync in the quality settings, and also put Application.targetFrameRate = -1; somewhere in a script.

Hi friends I am also facing same issue. I have Unity Pro for MAC version but when i Put off VSync off it reach max 65 and when it's on it goes to max 60. there is any setting in unity to bound frame-rate up to 60 - 65. and default Application.targetFrameRate = -1

It's possible for VSYNC to be enabled in two different places - the Unity version listed here, and in whatever control software for your graphics card you have installed. There's a VSYNC toggle in NVIDIA Control Panel under "Manage 3D Settings", for example. Its default is to let each individual 3D application decide, but you can set it to be always on or off, too. I don't know about Radeon cards.

@CHPedersen May be Graphic Card setting also have some setting for VSYNC, but it's to hard to find Graphic Card VSYNC setting on mac, it's just rubbish thing, due to this setting Developer does not feel freedom to develop, no doubt it's fine to end user or regular gamer... Developer must have freedom to develop application / game which can overrides to this kind of setting

For anyone as stupid as me facing this issue this might be helpful: I tried everything, and spent 2 hours, but then I realized I’m on the battery, so my laptop was trying to save energy by lowering fps.

You saved me

The Stats info is based only in the rendering time (how much time each frame is taking to be rendered). The actual frame rate is always lower because there are other periodic jobs being executed by Unity and the CPU.

But it seems that the Windows Unity version always stick to a maximum 60 fps, even if your scene takes one milisecond or less to be rendered. If the scene becomes too complex to render at 60 fps, the frame rate will fall below 60 - but never goes above this level.

Hi Aldo Naletto I am also facing same issue. I have Unity Pro for MAC version but when i Put off VSync off it reach max 65 and when it's on it goes to max 60. there is any setting in unity to bound frame-rate up to 60 - 65. and default Application.targetFrameRate = -1
