Question 144hz Gsync/Freesync Monitor Stuck at 116 fps

I have used this msi Optix monitor with g-sync at 144hz for 2 years, had no trouble with it until last week.

All my games are limited to 116 fps, cant find a solution. I have adjusted my display adaper properties, use no frame limiting software, tested old/new display port cables, and used DDU.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor 3.70 GHz
32 gb ram
3070
 
have you changed any settings in Nvidia control panel?
On the Manage 3d settings screen, what is Low latency mode set to?
I found one person where setting it to ultra caps the fps at 116
AFAIK the default is off, but I don't have the newest drivers or a 3070.
