Locked @30 fps on any res above 1080p?

[Tuna Boat Captain 2000]

It was running great in 1440p for s long time then all of a sudden(after a reboot) this started happening where I get locked to 30fps on any resolution above 1080p

My PC is i7 5930k, 2x gtx 1080 sli, 32gb ddr4 ram, win 10 x 64 home.

was there a new update that changed this, or perhaps does anyone know if there is any way around this, like with nvidia profile inspector maybe?

Oddly enough I've discovered that I can play it in 4k(2160p) @60fps? Not sure why I've lost the ability to do the same @1440 but as long as the frames are steady @ 2160p I'll be happy.

Note: I did turn off the 3 checkmarked boxes at the bottom of settings...dynamic shadows, motion blur and whatever the other one was.

I still can't figure out why I can get 60 fps on 2160p and 1080p, but not 1440p? what gives? Does anyone have a possible solution? 1440 would/was the sweet spot, on 2160p I have to play with the setting to get it to run good. With 1440p I could max everything and it ran perfectly. I'm still doing fine with 2160p mind you, but it just bothers me that 1440p did work before and now it won't.

Maybe these guides can help?

Don't run in borderless or windowed modes.

And this?

This one helped a lot. I'm going to try the compact folder size next because even with a SSD the loading times feel about the same as on PS4. Ridiculous.

I honestly appreciate the replies, as at this point I'll try anything, but I'm just stumped as to why I can get 60fps in 4k and 1k but not 2k, what's happened to 2k? It used to work, just a couple days ago it was working, but not anymore.

So in a nutshell I don't have a problem with load times, I run most games in high performance mode through control panel anyways, and I don't use borderless or windowed. I did try both borderless and windowed to see if it would fix the problem but it didn't, and oddly enough the size of the play window for both of those settings was only about a quarter the size of my actual screen. It's strange cuz I've never seen that happen on any game before, usually with windowed it would be the full size of the screen but with a windowed border around it, and borderless would be full screen too.

Try disable sli and just run with one card? My 1070 was doing fine with 1440p.

High setting, with shadow med, ambient off. Dynamic reflection off. Framerate cap set @ 60. Camera bluff off.

Using reshade for extra graphical tweak.

See thats the thing, I was doing fine on 1440p too, then I logged in one day and 1440p was locked @30fps, I tried switching all different resolutions and found that it was only 1440p that I couldn't get 60 fps on...I'm mad because that is the perfect resolution to play on for me...I can max everything out and still hold a constant 60fps.
btw, I did try disabling 1 card but it didn't help.
It's got to be some setting that was changed with an update. I wounder if doing a system restore would help? Don't really like messing with that unless I have to. Right now I'm playing pretty good in 4k(2160p) but I have shadows turned off and some other things on low so I can get a steady 60fps, and even then I get dips to 50 fps sometimes.

OK so I think I figured it out in case this might help someone in the future with the same problem... The native resolution on my sony TV is 2160p, if I try changing that to 1440p via windows display the screen goes all wonky. If I try changing it via nvidia control panel it will change fine but auto selects 30 hz with no op[tion for 60... I guess the game was working for a bit in 1440p until there was a conflict. Unfortunately I think I'm stuck @ 2160p or 1080p

Guess it's just not optimised and still has alot of bug.Thats why i turnd off most of the ingame stuff and used reshade for the eye candy instead, just fxaa and adaptive sharpening helps make the games looks better.

Oh TV... They need either a proper EDID(inbuilt, kinda like monitor driver/inf file) that list 1440p@60 with the correct timings or you have to manually create one custom resolution(You must know the timings...) without damaging the screen.

That's a very interesting link, however normally I can play games in 1440p @60 this game is the exception. I put in a few hundred hours worth of 1440p gameplay into the surge as 4k was too demanding and also it had no sli support. Or maybe I just got lucky with the surge and it was just a matter of timer before a conflict happened?
I know I was playing this game fine @1440p for 100+ hours then I turned it off one night, I think there was a windows update and possibly a nioh & steam update, then when I tried playing the next time it wouldn't let me go 1440p@ 60 fps.

Yes some programs just output and pray for the best. The old days, if it's bad, you'll get signal out of range or some weird crap.

[Tuna Boat Captain 2000]

In case anyone's interested I've figured out how to play @60fps in 1440p... I used a program named "borderless gaming"... bada-bing bada-bang problem solved. I only wish I woud have figured it out a few hundred hours sooner lol
