Hey guys, so my gtx 1070 is locked at 60 fps. It's been like it since day one and I bought it months ago while still new. I can turn V-Sync off in nvidia control panel and it does nothing except disable V-Sync. I don't understand why there is a 60 FPS cap on my pc but any clue what's causing this?
Cause I have tried everything on my end I can think of.

Computer:
GTX 1070
MSI Z270 Gaming M3
I5 7600k
2x4GB DDR4 @ 3000MHz
XFX TS 850
 
Solution
really cant think of any solution. Are you using HDMI cable, if so that caps the fps to 60 hz.... change to dvi-d or displayport cable... And also do check your monitor refresh rate...

Yeah, that's it. I can't switch because I have an ultrawide monitor that is HMDI only, thanks for letting me know though. Appreciate it.
