Before the 20th aniversary update CS 1.6 could achieve 1000 fps. Now that's not possible somehow.
As for Half-Life 1 turning on the flashlight can in select locations heavily drop the FPS way below vsync, I don't think that was the case.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Go to the following spot in half-life 1.
  2. Turn on the flashlight.
  3. FPS drops to 63 fps(165 hz screen, kills frame pacing).
