Windows 10: Performance Issue in FPS games with Variable Refresh rate off on high refresh rate single...

I encountered a glitch on my PC where all games were limited to 60 fps in full screen mode, but not in windowed modeBut for some games windowed mode also capped at 60. I tried various troubleshooting steps such as disabling V-sync, reinstalling graphics drivers, and following YouTube tutorials, but none of them resolved the issue. Eventually, I found that disabling variable refresh rate uncapped the fps and fixed the problem. However, I noticed a significant drop in performance when variable refresh rate was turned off.

Variable refresh rate.

Hello! As you know, Windows 11 has a variable refresh rate feature (VRR). I have a question about this feature. When I had windows 11 21h2, when this feature was disabled, my fps was blocked by the maximum refresh rate of my screen - 165 hz. But on April 24, I updated Windows to 22h2, and now when this feature is disabled or enabled, my FPS is not blocked in any way and sometimes rises above 165. Is it supposed to be like this?

 

Refresh rate Problem

Hi Robert,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Screen refresh rate is the rate at which the data displayed on screen is refreshed; it may be an image or some text document. Most of the users would like to set it to a higher rate but this also depends on the capacity of graphic
card and monitors. If the refresh rate is slow, the images on the display looks as flickering to the user eye and makes it uncomfortable to work.

Nowadays the latest monitors available in market will have minimum 60 Hz of refresh rate and it is very good option to set it to 70 Hz if you your monitor is compatible. Normally a high performance or quality monitors can reach
120 Hz of refresh rate. So I would suggest you to set your monitor refresh rate as higher as possible, below given steps describes how to access this feature on your Windows 8.1/10 PC.

• The default refresh rate setting is 60 Hertz (HZ); however, your monitor may support a higher setting. Check your manufacturer's documentation for information about the settings that your monitor supports.
• If you use a higher refresh rate, you can reduce the rate that your screen flickers; however, if you specify a refresh rate that is too high for your monitor, your screen may become unusable and your hardware may be damaged.
• Changes to the refresh rate affect all users that log on to the computer.

I would, as of now, suggest you to visit the computer manufacturer's support website and install the latest display and chipset drivers available for the latest operating system (currently it would be 8.1 in the list).

Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.
