@xObst Hi, if you go into your C:\Users\yourusername\Documents\Criterion Games\Need for Speed: Most Wanted you can open the config file with notepad.

Look for the "LockTo30" value and make sure this is set to "False" rather than True.

Now the FPS should go as high as your system/monitor can handle.

Thanks.

I'd like to know aswell. I got a ryzen 7 3700 and RTX 2060 but my game is stuck at 60fps. I got Warzone and BFV on Ultra settings hitting 144fps easy with my 144hz 1ms monitor. NFS Most Wanted is just stuck at 60fps. I know I can get higher fps, but how?

@xObst technically, the engine is "unlockable"
Modding the rate works up to a certain extent.
But it's also a little buggy, so you might need to wait a decade or two.

no @Rj0100 , I didn't and you know why? cause I bought it yesterday to PC, not ten years ago for xbox360, ea still sells it, so they should be doing it right, if you have nothing to help, pls, SHUT UP.

man, pls get a life and stop being this kind of person you are.

Hello, Sorry for necroposting
But i found the solution,
Go ahead and open the config file in C:\Users\"yourusername"\Documents\Criterion Games\Need For Speed(TM) Most Wanted
Open the config file, and set the Vsyncinterval from 1 to 0
Set the Lockto30FPS to false,
Threre you go problem solved!
