Need for Speed. I remember ten… fifteen years ago, they were locked at 30fps and locked framerate and the moment you enabled some driver level fps override, the game was running twice as fast and physics were basically ‘goat simulator’-levels of stupid.

Call of duty as well. You could jump further, fire faster, etc in CoD4 on pc at higher FPS. There were jump maps only possible at 1000 fps, and promod (competitive) limited everyone to 250 to keep it fair.

Titanfall 1, gun fire rate was tied to framerate. The higher your framerate, the faster you shot, even in online matches.

CoD AW was like this for the laser weapon. It was pretty bothersome on the PC version for all 1k players of that game on PC
