    60 FPS cap in fullscreen mode.


    Hello,After buying a new pc, installing windows 10 and trying some games I noticed that in fullscreen mode the fps are always capped at 60 fps, but in windowed mode it gets unlocked, this is clearly a Windows issue because let me point out some stuff:-It's not a driver issue, or a setting in the control panel or the game, as V-sync is off-The computer runs the game at 255 fps in windowed mode, it's not that it can't get more than 60 fps-Xbox app, Game bar, Fullscreen optimization are all turned off So please if any of you knows a solution to this issue, post it as this is frustrating.

    :)

    Most Fullscreen Games Capped at 60 FPS

    Hi,

    The problem is that If the game is in windowed mode, it reaches 144 fps, but in fullscreen it can't get over 60 fps.

    - Not due to a hardware limit

    - Any fps limit disabled in games.

    - V-sync disabled in games and in nvidia control panel.

    - Re-installed graphics drivers.

    - Tried disabling fullscreen optimizations on the .exe of games.

    - Disabled gameDVR in settings and in registry editor.

    After this, I've tested some games.

    these ones are not capped at 60fps in fullscreen :

    - Steep (edit : tested it in borderless, not fullscreen)

    - Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon WIldlands

    these other ones are capped at 60fps in fullscreen :

    - Sea Of Thieves

    - The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt

    - Fortnite

    - Prey

    - Far Cry 5

    - Steep

    I'm running with Windows 10 Family, version 1803, on 64 bits OS.

    And I'm using multi-monitor so my main one is a 144Hz and the second a 60Hz, but I didn't set them up in surround mode.

    Any Idea of what causes this ?

    "Are you trying to match the games frame rates with the monitors 144Hz refresh rate, or are the fps just coincidental ?

    What graphics processor does you machine use ?"

    No I'm not, I want my fps to be capped at 144fps and not 60. My GPU is the GTX 1080.

    For exemple on Sea Of Thieves, in windowed my gpu load is at 100% and i have 110-120 fps, when I change it in fullscreen, the load goes down to 50% and I have 60 fps.

    It's doing exactly the same with Steep : in windowed 140-170fps at 100% load, and in fullscreen 60 fps at 40% load.

    I'm completely sure that V-sync is disabled in the game in fullscreen, and in the control panel of Nvidia, and enabling it won't fix the thing.

    "- Running Steep in Fullscreen mode @2480x1440 resolution with the eye candy

    ...Windowed mode runs in the same range as it does at 1440p."

    I run every games @1920x1080p, and the 8GB VRAM are never fully loaded.

    It's most likely a software limit rather than a hardware one, but I can't figure it out since I've done everything I could do.
