30 FPS cap?
I'm getting an FPS cap, even with Vsync off. GTX 970, 60 hz monitor

There is no FPS cap except for the title screen at 30 fps. I'm using a gtx 970 with vsyc on and it's 60 fps in game.

It shouldn't be locked. But As Iron said, it is locked at 30 in the title menu for some reason. Lol don't blame you for thinking it globally lock at 30fps tho, as some review outlets actually included in their reviews that it was locked at 30fps globally lol. Dunno why.

disable vsync in game, and use nvdia control panel to set vsync to adaptive
You'll still get 30 fps for the main animation & menu...
possibly also for the cutscenes, but i haven't paid attention to that, so even the cutscens might be 60 fps
but in general, the game runs at 60 fps, even in 2k and most of the time even in 4k

60fps is kinda juddery when capped inside of 120hz. 60fps is only really smooth(ish) when the refresh rate is also 60hz. But even then 60hz has motion blur and lag, comparative to 120.

But you can't have 120fps/hz and 2k/4k, cause you'll get fps drops. My advice is to pick one, fps or resolution, because playing at 1080p at 60fps/hz on a high end rig is actually wasting some resource margin.

Yeah know about that trick, and funnily enough even tho I use gsync it actually helps a bit there too lol, I guess because gsync is a derivative of vsync.

But yeah, even with the alt+tab tick was just referring to the inherent frame stepping you get when native output between two devices differs, such as capped 60fps flowing into 120hz refresh rate.
