So I was trying to remove the speed limiter on FPS, thus called 2 commands:

SetVSync( 0 )
SetSyncRate( 0, 0 )

But, the FPS stays limited at 60.
Pretty sure my hardware is not the bottleneck here (Intel i7 and GTX 970). I didn't touch any sync modifying command on the rest of the codes either.
I tried to set SetSyncRate to larger values (100,1000, ect), still not working
Both my PC and phone (Xperia Z2) shows 60FPS.
Any idea of what's going on?

Sets whether vertical sync should be turned on or off. This is the preferred method of limiting the frame rate as it will link the frame rate to the monitor refresh rate and avoid tearing or stuttering. Using this command with mode 1 will override any currently set refresh rate from SetSyncRate, otherwise these two commands would fight each other for control of the frame rate, instead AppGameKit will use the VSync refresh rate which is typically 60 frames per second.

Thats what is in the docs for the VSync command, have you tried you program using just the SetSyncRate( 0, 0 ) as I have never used the SetVSync() when doing this and it has always worked.

I've tried using only SetSyncRate( 0, 0 ), still didn't work.
If its the problem of PC graphic card setting, then the problem should've disappeared on my Android phone, but nope.

Markus- I've noticed that you used AppGameKit V108 19. Mine is V 2.0.11.
Maybe the problem started in this latest version?

u had looked your PC graphic card setting?
chould be vsync application default or disable vsync for test there.

do not think about handy, it have a different logic behind.
if the handy os call 60fps a "draw me" u can not go faster.
