Asus Zephyrus G14 caps out at 60fps (144hz screen)

[s_k]

Folks! No matter which game I play, the highest FPS Fraps has shown is 60. 
My laptop (Ryzen 7 5800, rtx3050Ti) has a 144hz refresh rate screen and should easily surpass 60hz on many of the games I play. It consistently tops out at 60fps.
What I found online is that it's because the screen can not do more (definitely not true) and that armoury crate can be the issue (I uninstalled that virus a long time ago :D). 
Any thoughts?

Why are you using FRAPS in 2023?
I mean you already have an Nvidia GPU, you probably have GeForce Experience installed, just use Nvidia Performance Overlay.
Steam also has an FPS counter.

Anyhow, did you check display settings in Windows, is the screen really running at 144Hz?

Because it gives me an FPS counter and an easy way to take screenshots, I have no reason to use anything else but if you have suggestions, happy to try :D. 
Not all of my games are played through Steam, does it also work for the non-steam games?
Windows is at 144hz yes

Any ideas here?

On my G15, this often happens when you have silent mode enabled. Armory crate limits to 60 fps. Turn on turbo and you're likely fine.
