TIP: By default, the maximum FPS on City of Heroes is capped at 60 FPS. If you'd like higher FPS, and your video card, display, and system can handle it, use /maxfps to raise the maximum FPS allowed. The biggest improvement in visual perception on displays is between 30-80 Hz, any higher and you start dealing with diminishing returns. A higher frame rate can help with smoothing out the game in minimally laggy areas, but will have no effect on hard (major) lag. You'll have to use /maxfps every time you login unless you use it as a command line parameter.
Example
