fps_max is a console variable available in all 
GoldSrc, 
Source, and 
Source 2 games.
This is a ConVar where you can define your frame rate limit. It is recommended that you limit them to the refresh rate of your monitor, because any frame rate above that is wasted, and could cause the monitor to have screen tearing issues, causing the systems to make coil whine noises due to higher power draw. Furthermore, having more than around 1000+FPS in a Source games (or 100+ in GoldSrc) will cause timing-related issues (such as the game running faster than normal) and potentially causing the game to stutter (or cause the servers to teleport you back where you should be)[1].
Syntax: fps_max <frames per second>
Note:Default: 300 FPS, 400FPS in 
CS:GO and 
Team Fortress 2 branch.Example: If you wanted 85 frames per second, you would type in the console: fps_max 85
Example: If you want to disable the FPS cap, type: fps_max 0
Note:Using fps_max 0 on GoldSrc instead make the game run at 1 FPS.Quotation marks around strings are not always required, but should be used to ensure that special characters, such as spaces and semicolons, are not misinterpreted. For number-only strings, quotation marks should not be used.
Note:On listen servers, going above 1000 FPS may cause pseudo-speedhacks, where time seems to have sped up. It should not happen on dedicated servers.[confirm]References
