@ATFGunr As a general rule for locking your frames, do it in the game if possible. Don't ever lock your frames with software.
In 2042, set your refresh to whatever your monitor's native refresh rate is. I also personally use gsync in all games as well.
Going from 1080 to 1440 is a great move by the way. I did the same because I was having trouble seeing enemies in Battlefield at long ranges. It really helps people look sharper and stand out more. It just makes gaming more enjoyable.
My PC is probably pretty similar to yours. I have 3070, so it should be in the ballpark regarding performance. I get between 110-140 fps depending on what's going on, so I wouldn't limit yourself to 60hz if I were you. Hope that helps.
