Windows 10: FPS in some games are being capped at 60 FPS.

After upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10 I am experiencing annoying thing.

My fps are being capped at 60 in some games BUT ONLY IN FULLSCREEN MODE!!! and because of that my mouse movement is much laggier, heavier..



I've turned off VSync , Game DVR, GameMode etc.


My setup:

i3-3110m 2.4 GHz

Intel HD 4000, GeForce GT 635M

4 GB RAM

Game FPS capped at 60


Assuming you don't have Vsync enabled, and assuming Geforce experience or something has not upped your in game graphic settings, check game mode to ensure you aren't recording in the background.

You aren't talking about FPS while Game DVR (recording in the background) is enabled, right? Note in that scenario , video FPS are default 30, max 60 as "high quality video capture may impact the quality of your game".

 

All games are capped at 60 fps after Windows 10 Update

After the latest windows 10 update. All games seem to be capped at 60 fps when before the update I got well over 80 fps. I DO NOT have vsync enabled nor do I have Game DVR enabled. I looked all over online and have received no help. Any suggestions?

 

Most Fullscreen Games Capped at 60 FPS

"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.
