AMD GPU Utilization and FPS Cap

[Munchboy]

System: Ryzen 5600; RX 6800XT; 32GB 3200MHz
Since a few days I've noticed my GPU not being fully utilized in Persona 3 R -> From the 120FPS it went to an unplayable state with stutters and frame drops while the GPU was at 5% utilization. Yesterday I wanted to play Valorant and noticed my game was capped at 60 FPS in game (I've been playing this game almost every day with no issues until now). Thought okay might be the AMD driver,, so I installed the old drivers with hopes of a fix -> no such luck. I check my windows setting for my refreshrate, AMD global display settings, power options etc. Then i swapped the game from my main monitor to the secondary one (They are the same monitor Acer Nitro XV272U 144Hz WQHD) and the game is running like normal, which makes me even more confused than before. On top of that if the game is in fullscreen it locks the fps at 60 again. I tried to look at every possible display setting on windows and nowhere does it say the refreshrate is capped. pls help...

UPDATE: Turning AMD Freesync off in the software doesn not mean its off, I turned it off from the monito and the FPS went up to 120. Cool right? Wrong! With VSync on I'm locked at 120. With VSync off I'm locked at 60??? This means something is making my monitor go Haywire, would old age play a factor in this?

That on the main or secondary monitor?

Does it do the same when put in borderless windowed?

Does some quick Google-fu

5yo monitor... I guess if you got a bad unit it could start having issues.

pretty unlikely for 5 years of use to affect a monitor in that way 

 

I have 15-20 year old lcds that are still functional and don't have issues with modern hardware and games

On both monitors it was locking 60FPS in Fullscreen, on the main it was doing it in borderless too. For some reason today everything was working normally. No settings changed, reboot shouldn't matter because I already rebootet the PC mulptiple times. Honestly, I'm falling out of love with AMD cards and next time i'll probably be paying a premium for NVidia

You are using Windows 11 probably...
