Framerate locked to 30 FPS on external monitor

Laptop:

5900x, RTX 3070, 1440p @165 Hz

Monitor:

1080p @60 Hz

The title sums up the problem. I’ve had success with every other game running at the native 60 FPS on this external monitor. I went through windows and NVIDIA settings to double check the set framerate of the monitor while in/out of the game. Anyone else having this problem?

Could you check if when you lunch the game the windows option for that monitor is change it to 30hz? Sometimes happens that when you use multiple screens and lunch a game the hz chages automatically.

Also check in game setting if you don’t have fps lock.

Also you can try to lock the fps to 60 with rivaturner.

Refresh rate for the monitor is still 60 Hz while in game and in window mode

I’ve tried every combination of VSYNC and FPS cap

And if you move the game on the laptop screen? The lock persist or you can see an increase of fps?

The lock persists if i have the game as the active window

And also happens when you play on fullscreen mode?

Try to disconnect the second monitor and only use the laptop screen just to check if having both monitor are not causing the issue.

Dumb moment here: my charger wasn’t plugged into the outlet. The refresh was limited to 30 fps on battery.
