i somewhere read that GG will not display more than 60 fps unless you change something in the setup.ini file.
i cant remember what it was.
So if one change that setting in the setup file, is that then the real fps number?
Can anyone please help me on this question?

i'll best leave it for more knowledgeable members to answer your questions but i think that this is the answer.
Nvidia has vsync and AMD has gsync, both fullfil the same purpose to equalize the output fps from the graphics card with the refreshrate of your monitor.

Others should correct me if i'm wrong.

It's true as far as the editor is concerned, not necessarily what you will get in the standalone due to differences in how they run but should be similar.

Vsync is to limit the frame rate to your monitor refresh rate (not everyone will get 60 but it's the most common by far).

The reason to limit it is so everyone gets the same experience, depending on how things are coded the frame rate can have a massive impact on how the game plays - i.e. someone with a fast computer running at 120fps could get AI running around firing at them 4x as fast as someone running a slow computer at 30fps....
This is why we set minimum requirements - the lowest known set up capable of reaching 60fps.

I would leave it as is, very few scripts are written to take account of FPS when they execute.
Been there, done that, got all the T-Shirts!
