Max framerate issues in TF2

[Chua]

I recently got a new 144hz monitor which works fine in all other games. But tf2 is capping my framerate at 60hz. Before I switched, I let tf2 run at an unlimited framerate to lower input lag, so it would run around 100hz. I've tried everything: turning off g-sync, using console commands(fps_max 144), going through the nvidia control panel, and turning off full screen optimizations. I want to take advantage of my new display, so I'm welcome to any tech tips!

 

I use:

Viotech gft27db(display port) 

gtx 1660

xeon w3690

16gb of some generic ddr3 1333mhz ram

idk what the rest is I got it from the trash

Gsync should be left on, "wait for vertical sync" should be disabled in the settings.

I turned v sync off

Source games are a little weird when it comes to refresh rates. You might have to see if using the launch command "-refresh 144" (or "-freq 144") does anything.

Least, that's what it seems like it's choking up on. Could be something different.

That's not a command for tf2. I believe tose are only for csgo.

I'm pretty sure "-freq" works for TF2. 

If that doesn't work, I'm pretty certain you can force TF2 to run a refresh rate in the game's configuration files. Gimme a minute to figure this out again.

Clarifying what command does the trick.

Just opened scp secret lab to play with some friends and saw it was also capped at 60fps. I'm pretty sure this was working yesterday. I have no idea what is going on. I've already restarted my pc

I guess the framerate is only capped in menus for scp

Yeah it worked after I stared a different game and went back to tf2. I have no idea what was going on.

I just capped it 144 because I got over 200fps and felt like too much
