Something is messing with my graphics

All my games and os and apps are limited to 165fps, my monitor is set to 240hz and all in game settings are limited to 240 fps. Also whenever the frame changes/ I move or look around in a game I get a set of weird black outline sharpening effect on details, which leads me to believe a program (probably a shitty windows one) is messing with my graphics and fps. Pls help fix

what is your GPU? do you have the latest drivers? 
is this happening in multiple games?
are you using V-Sync?

what is the monitor refresh rate look like in the GPU's control panel software?

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

What a point in gaming we have reached that we can complain we are stuck on a mere 165 FPS. As per above:

  1. What resolution?
  2. What connection (HDMI, DP etc.)?
  3. What GPU?
  4. What monitor maybe?

Crystal: CPU: i7 7700K | Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix Z270F | RAM: GSkill 16 GB@3200MHz | GPU: Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti FE | Case: Corsair Crystal 570X (black) | PSU: EVGA Supernova G2 1000W | Monitor: Asus VG248QE 24"

Laptop: Dell XPS 13 9370 | CPU: i5 10510U | RAM: 16 GB

use a DP cable and tell us if there is a difference.

That won't make a difference. Like I said it was the software, windows itself is running at 240hz
