Either the in game display, or FRAPS. Xfire has it too, but it would be more of a pain in the ass to set up Xfire than fraps.

I have used fraps and I always get 60... ON EVERY PC I USE.
I have used xFire, but I cbf setting it up.

What command can I use to bring up the FPS?

No drops at all. I used fraps and it was 60 the whole time, same with the console command.

But tbh, 60fps isnt that great. And I have a pretty good pc except for my GFX (9600GT 1GB).

60 fps is great same as consoles so no lag
i only get 15-23 so you have to be happy with it

I mean that if he ALWAYS (as he says) have 60 FPS (it's common ammount of Hz of refresh rate for many LCD monitors), he surely plays with vertical sync on, and the game prevents him from getting more FPS than his monitor can handle. BTW 1 FPS (fraps per second) = 1 Hertz (refresh per second).
There are opposite views on the vsync, personally I feel the game better when it's off. A huge debate you could see recent days here.

Uhm... I don't get the question. If it's "why do I get better frame rate while Vsync is off" - it's because when Vsync is disabled the only borders for your FPS are the settings of max fps in your config file ("com_maxfps" for quake engine, "fps_max" for source engine etc.) and, of course, the power of your graphic card.
