So since 4.2 hit I've been having a weird bug with the in-game refresh limit. I normally keep my limit set to 60fps which is the refresh rate of my monitor. I don't have any non-focus limiting or afk limiting set. I run windowed borderless (or whatever the setting is that is fullscreen but doesn't minimize when you go offscreen), and have two side monitors besides my primary. Whenever I zone into a new area the refresh rate locks at half of my set rate, 30fps and stays there until my mouse cursor leaves the primary monitor--acting much as if the "limit fps when the game is not the focus" setting is active but isn't. As soon as the mouse cursor leaves the primary monitor area the refresh rate immediately shoots back up to 60...even if I don't click off the primary monitor or anywhere else.

As a workaround I have set the refresh rate in game to unlimited, and am enforcing vsync/refresh rate limit through the NVIDIA control panel instead. Since then the system information tab with the fps rate has shown me anywhere from 124fps to 64 fps in Rhelgar's Reach depending on where I am looking.

Also, I'm not sure if the system report tool says it or not but I'm running two GTX970's in SLI mode. Also SLI is set to be focused on the primary monitor (doublechecked to be sure).
