[SOLVED] All Games Capped at 60 FPS but Only in Fullscreen

[prod_djwdo]

Somehow, only when my games are on the setting 'Fullscreen', it caps my fps on 60, which is my monitor refresh rate. I've checked my control panel for v-sync, I've checked all my programs for an fps capper (which had none), turned off game bar, I've tried everything I know I can do to get rid of this cap, anyone have any advice for me so I can play on fullscreen but over 60 FPS?

Specs:
GTX 1650 6GB
16GB Ram
Intel i5-8265U
60Hz Monitor

the newest nvidia drivers have a "max frame rate" setting in the nvidia control panel, 3d settings, maybe check that, otherwise im not sure, its kinda pointless to go over 60fps if your monitor has a 60hz refresh rate anyways imo.

What games are you playing? Have you looked for the refresh rate option in the graphics menus?

It's not pointless to have higher than 60fps, especially when you can hit 120+. You may not be able to display them, but the higher fps updates positions of other players in games like CSGO or Overwatch more often, which can make you more accurate when flicking or tracking shots when you have low ping. It's more beneficial on monitors with faster color response times.

Sort of true.

Depends on what you're doing with your PC. If you're at 60fps playing Checkers, you're not going to see much benefit in higher framerate. If you're in a first person shooter and you turn your mouse more than 60 degrees per second, that 60fps is going to be immediately noticeable.

That said, if your card is fast enough to be rendering the next frame while the monitor is still drawing the previous frame, faster than 60fps can "help" a 60Hz display look better than if your card isn't able to work on the next frame.
