First off I have a Gtx 660 with an i5 4570 cpu so theres no doubt that this cant run the game maxed. My question is that first off, turning v sync off, the game is still capped at 60fps and it still feels like v sync is on, as the mouse is slow as if v sync was on. Ive capped the fps with msi afterburner to 59 so it wouldn't reach the 60 cap and at the 59 cap the game, it runs smooth. Question is why is Fallout New Vegas still capping the fps at 60 even with Vsync off, is it something to do with mouse or the game settings? Anyone that has had the same problem help please
Mouse acceleration seems to be on by default, and I can't find anywhere in the launcher settings or the in game settings to turn it off.

It's very annoying as it makes it feel as if the mouse is lagging. Is there any way to turn it off?

If you’re reading this, it’s likely that you’ve heard or seen pro FPS players talking about the importance of turning mouse acceleration off. And obviously you want to be a pro-- or at least better-- too, so that’s why you’re here.
But before we get into the nitty gritty of how you turn it off, let’s talk about what mouse acceleration is, what it’s used for you, and exactly why turning it off helps in getting those much coveted headshots.
So, without further ado, let’s get started..
In layperson’s terms, the faster you move your physical mouse, the further your onscreen pointer moves on the screen.
So if you move your mouse slowly, then your pointer moves basically as much as you moved your mouse. But if you move it rapidly, then your pointer can fly across the screen. At this point, the distance the pointer travels is based more on the speed of the mouse and less on the actual distance you moved it on your desk.
Because of the above, turning mouse acceleration on is helpful for general use. When browsing the internet or working in limited office space, you will surely benefit from turning your mouse acceleration on.
Think of it this way, your screen size is probably about 18 inches diagonally. With mouse acceleration off, to get from your bottom right corner to your top left corner, you’d need to physically move the mouse a combined 18 inches through a series of short swipes. But with acceleration on, one fast, short swipe could get the job done.
However, when you’re gaming this is a different story altogether…
To. Hit. Your. Target.
Okay, but seriously. Since mouse acceleration is almost solely based on how fast you move your mouse from one point to the next, it’s not very accurate. By turning this off, your pointer reflects your mouse movements 1:1. This gives you particularly accurate aim in FPS titles due to the way their camera works.
Turning mouse acceleration off can also make it easier to develop muscle memory, which allows you to instinctively repeat movements without having to think about them.
Psychologically speaking, mouse acceleration fundamentally changes the way your brain processes your movements. Without it off, your actions are accurate: movement in physical space is correlated to movement in digital space. With it on, your actions aren’t about a specific location, but rather the speed and direction you moved your mouse.
This means physical speed and direction are abstracted into digital movement, which can be a jarring transition. Throw in the speed threshold for activating mouse acceleration and you have a lot more info being pushed through your brain during important, split-second decisions.

In short, it’s easier for your brain to get used to having mouse acceleration off.
Let’s put this all together in a hypothetical situation:
Imagine you’re playing [insert your favorite shooter here]. You’re camping inside a house because of YOLO. Now you hear footsteps behind you and you’re 90% sure you could shoot them first.
Let’s see how this plays out both with and without mouse acceleration.
With Mouse Acceleration: You to turn around as fast as you can, but you subtly moved your mouse too fast in the heat of the moment and overshot your target by a few inches. You got in a couple good shots, but she hit first and it was a battle of attrition at that point.
Without Mouse Acceleration: You whip around the corner, land your mouse dead center on her forehead, and then headshot. You’re dead. Turns out you weren’t as fast as you thought. But you were accurate!
Now that we’ve sold you on the importance of turning mouse acceleration off while gaming, let’s actually go over what you need to do to turn this off!
