I'm Stuck at 60 FPS on a 144 Hz Monitor
I maybe have made the wrong assumption while tinkering further I found out that it might be somewhere else this problem originates from.
My apologies for giving a too early conclusion instead of looking no further than the work around I found in game.
I think that the issue might be with Windows 10. Maybe a resent update has changed the "Display adaptor properties for Display 1"
This is found in Settings -> Display -> Advanced Display settings Display adaptor properties for Display 1, in the Tab Monitor the screen refresh rate was set to 60 Hertz on my system instead of 165 Hz..
I think BFV took this value on start up yet if changed in the game options to 200 Hz it would run at a setting beyond 60 Hz.
Also I noticed that in Settings -> Display -> Graphic settings in windows 10 there is an option to turn on (or off) Variable refresh rate, this was set off by default
As far a I know the variable refresh rate (g-sync) was handled by the NVIDIA drivers why windows is starting to interfere with this now is a mystery to me, but might be the answer why a g-sync panel will go over the max refresh rate of the panel, as when I set it to 200 Hz in game it went to 200 when it could (loading screens mainly) I just checked in game and turned the settings up to 200 Hz and I got 165 hz max as highest value as it should do if g-sync is enabled.
But now I still wonder at this moment if g-sync is really implemented and what is handled by windows and what is handled by the graphic drivers. And why is this so poorly communicated by Microsoft.
So those who are having this issue this might not be the the final solution but a work around as this might be windows 10 conflicting with graphic drivers. Why Microsoft is doing this baffles me a bit , as they didn't make the way to control this any easier. I always have controlled the GPU and display settings through the NVIDIA control panel and g-force experience or custom in game setting. The windows 10 settings seems to totally neglect any other values set either in the graphic card control settings and the initial game settings unless these are manually changed and these chances will be temperately until the application is closed.
So check if the settings that are in windows are matching your panel and it the Variable refresh rate is turned on in windows settings and everything should at least give the FPS as intended.
