How do I get more than 60fps in fullscreen?

[Mr. Kickass🔞]

When I choose windowed/windowed fullscreen mode I get 120fps for my 120hz screen, but once I go fullscreen it's locked at 60fps. How do I get 120 fps in fullscreen mode?

Iirc there is an fps limiter in the game settings, have you checked if it changes its value when you switch to fullscreen?

Yes, it's set at 120 fps in both windowed and fullscreen mode.

disable VSYNC?

Yes, I tried that, but then I experience tearing on the screen. I do get 120 fps though. What I need is fullscreen with vsync enabled at 120 fps, so I can play with HDR on. Somehow the vsync seems to decrease my fps to 60 in fullscreen, but not in windowed mode. Both windows and Nvidia control panel is set to 120hz, and that's what my desktop is running at. I don't quite understand why it decreases my fps to 60hz in fullscreen.

Spoken like someone who hasn't tried it at 100+ fps.

I'm running way above 120 fps be it fullscreen or borderless fullscreen mode.
Might wanna tweak the option or ur monitor setting.

Settings - Graphis - Maximum FPS.

Yes, yes I do. I can never go back to 60fps gaming.

With Vsync? I've tried most settings, just can't seem to make it go 120 with vsync. Not sure what settings on my TV I should tweak, it works great with all other games like cyberpunk. I got 120hz settings in both nvidia controll panel and windows.

I'll try it when I get home from work. Hopefully it's an easy solution like this

So you just don't touch unoptimized games that can't get more?

It naturally depends on the game. I do play older games like baldurs gate 2, but that game doesn't really require high fps. 3D-shooters on the other hand I have to say no. It's so much smooter and higher response time, that I can't go back.

Search for game mode in Windows 10. Turn it on if it's off. Then click graphic settings in the upper right section.

Make sure Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling is on.
Variable refresh rate is on.

Reboot. Then see if it starts working.
