PC refresh rate stuck at 30!!!

Just installed BV on my PC and cant change the default refresh rate above 30! I've changed it in Nvidia control panel and deleted the original config files. Still no joy. I have an i7 and RTX2080, so no issues there. Any advice would be welcomed.

    Hi @DavidWaldie

    When you look at the graphics settings in-game, does it say that it's using DX11 or DX12?

    FWIW, I've done the following:

    Turned Origin off in-game

    Repaired the game

    Reinstalled video drivers

    Deleted the contents of the settings folder

    Turned off DX12

    I can select 60Hz in-game and it asks me to confirm, but the game is still stuck at 30Hz

    No problems with the many other titles I run!

    ...and finally!

    If I use borderless window, the game still sticks at 30Hz in the in-gmae menu, but actually runs at 60Hz. If I select fullscreen it drops back to 30Hz. WTF?

    Is Vsync off both in-game and in the Nvidia settings?

  • Thanks guys. Finally got this sorted.

    I was unable to change the VSync in-game. It was stuck to ON. In NVidia control panel, the game setting was "application controlled". Once I turned this off, the game ran at full speed, but with terrible screen tears. Strangely, the game reported that it was still running locked to 30fps. I exited to game and GeForce experience could finally "read" the settings and optimised. Once restrarted, the game is set to runn at 60fps with VSync on. Result!!!

    Thanks again

    @DavidWaldie 

    Nice! Thanks for following up and letting us know how you were able to get it figured out. 🙌

  • I spoke too soon. Even with VSync on (in-game) it's actually off and continues to tear.

    Acording to Steam, I have 161 games, plus some on Uplay and this is the only one that can't sync. Wow ☹️

    Thanks EA
