I believe setting VSync on does not always necessarily limit the framerate to 60. Usually, but not always.

Windows 2000 and subsequent versions initially set the display rate at the lowest rate supported by the video subsystem. As Jim clearly said (in the reference I quoted), that is usually 60 Hz.

But the user can have changed that to some higher rate supported by his/her system. In which case VSync would limit to that rate, of course. The "side effect" is that simply changing the display settings outside MA3, can change the performance/appearance of MA3.
