[SOLVED] Seems like most of my games are capped at 79 fps, need help

[Bettebo]

Recently, my games have started running at a max of 79 fps, even though it should have way more than that. Im pretty sure i have all the new drivers for my hardware, and nothing is overheating.

My PC specs are:
Motherboard: MSI Z370 PRO CARBON
Cpu: Intel i5-8600k 3.6ghz
Gpu: Asus strix gtx 980 ti
Memory: 16gb DDR4
Not sure what my psu is, but its at least 750W, and it think its from evga

Does anyone have any idea why my games are running slower?

What games, what resolution, what refresh rate, Vsync off in Nvidia control panel? Drivers up to date for gpu?
Tried setting windows power setting to high performance? What type of hd? Is it almost full?

What monitor do you have? If the frames are capped, it's possible you've set Vsync on in the control panel.

edit: Apologies, should have been clear about that. Nvidia Control Panel.

Rocket league, CS:GO and deep rock galactic, the resolution for all games is 1920x1080, VSync off. Drivers should be up to date, cause i have done the "search for drivers" thing and also my gpu software says that the most recent drivers are installed. The refresh rate of my monitor is 60hz.

My monitor is a samsung S27D590. Im not sure i know where to check if i have enabled Vsync in the control panel.

The other user means Nvidia control panel.
Open that up and go to 3d settings, then check to see if vsync is on in global application settings

Ok, i turned it off there, but it is still capped.

I don't know then.

Perhaps check Windows power settings like earlier mentioned.

Aside from all this, download DDU and then reboot into safe mode and use it to remove drivers for GPU and then do a clean install of them

Do you use MSI afterburner? If yes, have you put a limiter in Riva Tuner Statistics Server?
Do you use any other GPU related software?
