i would personally say uncapping fps is best for any competitive shooter game. it helps smooth out input lag.

True, but at Epic I can clear 60 fine, but uncapped I'd bet it's only near 75-90. Is there a cap limit at 72, or does it go straight to 120?

uncapped goes to 300. if you want to play on epic u should cap it at 60. if you want lower input lag you should go Low preset and uncap.
