[SOLVED] Why am I getting higher fps on high settings than I am on medium settings Cold War

[austinl93]

I recently bought a 3440x1440p 144hz widescreen monitor, so I've been playing around trying to find the best settings at 1440p in call of duty black ops cold war. I have a decent computer, but at medium settings I was getting 60fps on average. So I bumped my settings up to high just to see what would happen. On high I was getting about 80-85fps. I didn't lower anything or turn off v-sync or anything like that, so I'm very confused why I'm getting drastically better frames on higher settings.

Possibly higher usage due to higher settings.
What pc do you have?

It's a pc I built awhile ago. It's a ryzen 2600x, be quiet cooler, asrock x470, 16gb of g.skill ddr4, msi armor gtx 1070, evga 750watt supernova, adata 256gb m.2, 2tb seagate barracuda, and a 4tb western digital external hard drive, and an nzxt h440 case.

Yeah, i still think its the usage.
It looks like the only logical reason for me.
