Stuck at 60 fps on a 165 hz screen

[F2AR]

I have an i7-11th gen and 3060.i am getting capped at 60 fps. Can't really find any videos or articles that tackle this issue.
Vsync is off in game and on invid. control panel. Tested every setting in game. Made sure settings are turned on in graphic settings on desktop dashboard. Even went in to the save file and checked to make sure fps was set to 165.
Any advice? Not sure if i am missing something or the game caps at 60 fps

No it does not cap at 60 but I have no idea why your pc is doing that

Also, deleted the cache in documents. That boosted it to 85 but still not clearing 100.
And why?

Well........you probably already know all this..........but I would make sure its getting 165hz in Windows first through your Nvidia control panel, then try to figure out what exactly is going on in game. Use you shadowplay overlay to watch FPS. In Battlefield 4 there is a setting for example of 1920x1080 at 239..hz, don't remember this game having that or not as I can only half the time seem to get the game load and go in game.

Yeah. I have made sure nothing is set to "cap" or limit fps. Also made sure that I am not using intergrated graphics, made sure the game is registering global settings and not using it's own settings. (in global everything is set properly as to not limit fps or hinder gaming)
This problem seems to be a bit wide spread after the newest update. Howver, i am new to this game and want to make sure that i check everything before i can 100% blame the game itself.
I am guessing either A) i am missing the smallest setting (can't imagine what, but i have seen stranger things happen) or B) the game is to blame. So either i have to wait for a fix, or it is going to be someone who has had this exact problem and has stumbled upon the fix.

You aren't using any msi afterburner or Rivatuner where you have the game capped at 60, are you?

No. Nothing like that.

Also figure ssomeone might ask. All drivers are up to date.

the 60 fps cap , its a bug
i get it few time , even i've a 144hz screen , on game i was cap 60fps
to fix it , change in game your fps to other setting , apply , and go back to your original fps

the bug display the wrong setting

No luck

don't expect 160 fps tho.

Based on your specs and without ram gb amount, your projected FPS should be 65-100 FPS
Coming from i9 9900k 2070s zotac boosted 32gb ram getting 60-120 FPS on high
If you are using a 8c16 thread you can make a user cfg to make use of 8c/12t only if game using 8c8t for a little boost
The best thing to use would be g sync so the FPS keeps with refresh rate


Also steam FPS counter has issues getting direct polling

Try using alt + r to bring up nvidia graph with a better FPS read


And or try without dlss if using, for me it makes game run terrible in my situation,

Not sure what you mean. I understand it wont always stay at 160, but reaching 160 is the problem.

16GB ram is more than enough to play the game. Also it isn't capping cpu gpu or the ram at all. It is going to be a setting or something with the newest update. i9-9900k is a great cpu, i have had one but mine isn't being capped or bottlenecking. No game that i have ever heard of nor played has ever needed the capacity of an 9900k. That is mainly used for many different applications at once. The processing power needed to play this game isn't the problem.
There is something else going on. I am in networking and IT so trust me when i say i have done my due diligence.

I just set mine to 239.760 HZ for the frequency and, and resolution to 1920x1080, granted my rig (Ryzen 2700X @ 4ghz, rtx 2070) can't actually pull that whole frame rate in THIS game, but I was averaging about 70 today on low. In Battlefield 4 it can sometimes reach 180 ish (on Max). I have not set anything unique for Battlefield 2042, so it should be using global settings. I suspect the game has something trying to hover around 60 fps....because shouldn't I get more than high 60s or 70 ish on low for this game?

Also if you like the higher frame rate stuff I suggest you also explore higher bit depth and sample rate for digital audio, think you might get a kick out of that too.

As for your situation..............I don't know..........So with shadow play FPS overlay it looks like the game is staying right at 60 hz though your monitor is set to 165 in Windows??? You might wanna try all the games you have and see if you are limited in them too..............perhaps try older stuff like Quake 3 or Counter Strike that your rig will run with ease.

The only difference with latest update was how the cache is stored, and you misunderstood, the games engine capacity and poorly optimized limits like above said, you won’t be reaching 165 even on low, you will get 60-120
And the game can only use 12c12t so if you have 8c + any threading over 12, you meet a cap introduced by engine, my 9900k uses 8c 12t for instance and is capped at 75% of total
And what are you using for FPS reads?
As well as native resolution ?


( for reference I average 75 fps in combat )
