Change unlimited FPS back to 60 - 120 FPS #970

What config to change

maxFps via options.txt file.

Why should it be changed

Having unlimited FPS sounds cool on the surface (lowest possible input delay + highest visible frames) but in turn, this causes several problems to occur which is what my personal concern is about:

  1. Input delay becomes inconsistent,
  2. Framerate output becomes inconsistent,
  3. More energy power is used,
  4. Heat generation is greater,
  5. Possible chance of vertical tearing,
  6. Battery life becomes worse overtime.

Additional details

To avoid these problems, The FPS limit should be set somewhere between 60 - 120 FPS to account for them and then let the end-user remove the FPS limit themselves if they are not satisified with this change. As for V-Sync; This can be left unchanged as disabled by default so that end-user can also decide upon it at anytime.
