Having issues running at 144hz refresh rate

[cigaro5676]

Hello!

So basically the game seems to only run at 60Hz refresh on my monitor (BenQ XL2430T) regardless of the settings I choose.

Using MSI Afterburner to monitor I set V-sync to on or off or adaptive. I have not changed any Vsync settings in the Nvidia control panel.

This shows that the game is rendering 144+ frames per second but the screen is only updating at 60hz. I do not have a way to confirm this other than looking at the screen and moving around.

I have even tried editing the ini files to turn off the engine fps limit. This gets me up to 500-700 fps in menu and ~150-160 in game with the settings on Max 1080p but doesn't resolve the issue with refresh.

I have changed in Nvidia control panel to prefer maximum refresh rate.

Changing the refresh in game does nothing on my rig. Even setting to 30hz does not affect anything.

I have also disabled SLI, Shadowplay to see if either were a cause of the issue.

The refesh in game appears to only affect the maximum FPS the game will cap at when using Vsync.

Running the latest Nvidia drivers. Also tested this on the much older Win 10 ready driver.

Also shadowplay won't work at all unless I do a full desktop (which isn't a big deal honestly)

Any ideas? Thanks
