Why is every game running at 30 FPS when I change it to 1080p resolution?

I have an Nvidia GTX 1060 6 GB but I don't want to play at 30 FPS. I'm not sure if this is an issue with the new drivers. If I switch it to 1440p or 4K, it can get up to 60 FPS.

Have you tried updating driver, changing settings etc ?

It seems OP has the newest driver. For some reason he cannot downgrade his driver.
I saw the posts, but I have no clue on this issue. I myself use an amd card, so I-- can only give advise on what I know outside of nvidia in this case.

There are two ways you can get the Nvidia driver on your system, either through windows update or by manually installing the driver from nvidia's website.

According to your other thread you cannot downgrade the driver, which suggests I guess you obtained the driver through windows update.

To get a lower version on your system, you would need to uninstall the driver from windows update and then install the one from nvidia's website instead. Its a bit of a process I guess.

Its possible your FPS got limited due to an update if it wasn't before, it could be caused by a configuration in nvidia settings.
if its not there, its possible they locked fps on your card for other reasons. (maybe the power management mode is set to 'power saving' for example, so that your battery lasts longer)

(I don't think nvidia limited the framerate to get you to buy a newer card though, if that is what you're worried about. I know apple does this with iphones, but nvidia-- no clue. They do update drivers to limit them and prevent cards from being fully unlocked, but yeah-)

I'd recommend taking a look at power settings I guess or power profiles, both in windows and on the GPU settings.

are you sure you're playing on your gaming gpu and not the intel hd integrated graphics? sometimes i have to switch graphics to use the gaming gpu

Graphics chips manufacturer have these annoying "our drivers can override every f*ing detail that the game requests" features, which is why I don't touch these things...

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a feature that lets you say something like "if the resolution is 1920x1080 or less, crank up the AA"... maybe really check the driver settings, piece by piece, item by item.

Depending on the native resolution of the monitor, this might be hidden in scaling options.

I fixed this finally, I had to uninstall AMD's chipset driver and I switched my power plan to high performance. Now, I'm running at 60 FPS.
