I am pretty sure I have everything set up correctly.

-I have a display port cable that I am using from my monitor to my gtx 1080.
-I have set the monitor to 240Hz in the Nvidia Control Panel and the display adapter properties.

- In Overwatch, I have set the resolution to "1920 x 1080 (240)(*) "
- I have changed the Limit FPS setting to unlimited, 240hz, and display-based.

After all of this my in-game fps counter AND Fraps still says 144hz.

Additional note: I have also turned settings down to ensure that I could handle that high of frame-rate.

So I feel like I have exhausted all of my options and the same situation happens with every other game like Fortnite.


If anyone could help, that would be fantastic!

According to the online manual you need to install the monitor driver as well as make those adjustments to run at full speed.
