LWJGL Display.update() automatically capping FPS to 60

Question

I am trying to get my game's FPS to go to e.g. 100 and even though I correctly call

Display.sync(100);

The FPS is 60..

Main loop looks like this:

int delta = this.getDelta();
this.update(delta);
this.drawGL();

this.updateFPS();

Display.update(); // Automatically caps FPS to 60--unwanted
Display.sync(100); // And yet FPS is 60

I should add that completely removing Display.sync(100); makes no difference to the FPS..

What happens if you call `Display.setVSyncEnabled(false)` before entering the game loop? — clstrfsck, Nov 09 '12 at 10:51
I forgot to say VSync is disabled.. (happens during initGL()). having tried calling `Display.setVSyncEnabled(false);` at the beginning of the loop doesn't make a difference. — Matej, Nov 09 '12 at 11:33

Make sure that Display.setVsyncEnabled(true) isn't anywhere in your code, if you don't have that anywhere, check in your graphics driver settings, sometimes people have force vsync to on in there.

This is machine-specific. Running on different machine solved it.

Thank you
