if it is consistant 60 it may be capped at 60. If I'm wrong 60 is a great speed anyways

Internet connection doesn't lower your fps.

Do you have Vsync on? Vsync sets maximum fps as your screen's refresh rate (probably 60Hz) to prevent tearing.

Yes you can have lower FPS because of bad internet connection - that's lag (the game can't communicate in the same speed it is run at, so it has to lower the information you recieve, so some frames are skipped).

60 FPS is probably because the game enabled VSYNC which makes sure the FPS is constant, and there won't be any screen-tearing because of too much fps (yes it happens).

If it bothers you, you can get higher by disabling VSYNC - or in the control panel of the video card or in the options in the game.

60fps is too low for that rig.

Do you get the same fps in single player FPS or just in online ???

Vsync is the devil. Keep it off at all times.
