Windows 10, Framerate capped @60-ish

Hi,


I recently upgraded to windows 10 home 64bit. All that went well, my games played 120+ FPS as it should. So I decided to clean install win10, all that went well also, but now when I try to play some games, they are all capped at 60 frames per/sec. I often cannot even get over 40-ish fps.


I've searched this all over and I am posting this in various places in hopes someone has experienced this and found a fix.


My machine:

i7 4970k
Asus Maximus Hero VII
2-way SLI ASUS GTX680
16 gb RAM
Samsung SSD 250gb





I have tried lowest visual and maximum visual settings.
I have Vsync disabled in Nvidia Panel and in game.
I have disabled the Xbox DVR thing.
All drivers fully updated.



Anyone else experience this?

Thank you.

What refresh rate is being detected/set for your monitor on the Windows side? The game may be getting a 60hz rating from the driver and you have the frame rate set as 1/1 in the game?

It is set to 120Hz

Everything was working great when I did the upgrade, but after a clean install, it is causing low FPS in my game. I used to play max settings. Now it is all choppy.

Seems to be a Win10 issue.

hmm... wonder if something is up with the DVI cable. Seem to recall a cut off at like 85 or 90hz back in the day. Perhaps an intermittent signalling issue? Make sure the cable is in good and tight, possibly try another cable if possible? Display port?

Nvidia driver defaulting to forced VSync @ 60hz?

If you have it at 120hz in game then that is the only possibility.
