My FPS is capped at 60 and I've tried everything I could google

Question

I have a 144hz monitor and a gtx1080, vysnc is off, I have refresh rate set to 144 in game files, my nvidia gysnc is off and my vsync is off in the manage 3d settings for both global and the game itself. I can not figure out why my fps is capped at 60. I stopped playing this game a few months ago and came back, when I was playing before i was able to get a constant 144 fps but it won't let me get above 60 now. I've googled and tried everything I could find but my fps just won't uncap. Any other suggestions please?

Fixed: i disabled steam broadcasting and my fps got uncapped

You can set it in-game. Recheck that maybe.

If nothing else works, try uninstalling gpu drivers (with DDU) and reinstalling. Nvidia is known for having troublesome driver glitches at times (they're even behind AMD in stability by now).

Its set to 144 in game. I guess maybe I will have to try reinstalling the game or reinstalling gpu drivers.

For the game, you could have uplay / steam recheck the filesystem integrity. Maybe something is missing. Also, check your siege settings file — it might be set to read only, so the changes don't work. It's a long shot, but hey, it might just work.

Try this. Hit windows key, then search “game settings.ini” near the top there should be something saying enter a number for cap FPS. If the number is set to 60 then there is your problem. Set the number to anything below 30 and it will remove your FPS cap. Hopefully this is your issue.

everything in gamesettings.ini seems to be correct in order to uncap FPS but my fps is still capped to 60

Sorry man that’s the only fix I’m aware of :(

This probably wont work but sometimes when my game is in full screen window the refresh rate is 60 and when I switch over to full screen it goes to 144 again.
