Curious on performance

So I have had the game on Xbox since it came out but never put a lot of time into it until I bought an Alienware Alpha r1. It's the I7 model with 8gb of ram and I believe it's a gtx 860m.

Anyways I bought the game on steam and it runs tremendously better then the Xbox version but I've a few questions for anyone with similar specs.

I play on the default high settings with resolution at 720p (I play on an older tv 😔) and with vsync off I average about 200fps with the occasional dips here and there but still higher then 100fps. I turn vsync on though and it's a stead 60fps which I like but I get dips into the mid 30s which gets real jarring when flying around. I assumed this was just vsync being it's normal self but I noticed I get the same drops in the same situations with it off just not as nearly as drastic(what I mentioned about it staying about 100fps with vsync off)

The frame limiter works to keep it above 60fps but it doesn't stay at the fps it limits at. The 144 limit stays at 130fps and the 120 fps stays at 110. So I'm curious what going on. I've got all updates drivers and literally the only thing installed on this ATM is steam and elite lol.

Im hesitant on playing with vsync off or the frame limiter off as when it runs in the 200fps the fan on this little thing kicks into overdrive and it just worries me it'll break haha.

So I guess a tldr would be, anyone know why with fps capped at 60fps the game drops to mid 30s but runs perfectly fine when not capped?
