Random vsync problems

[nilfgaard]

Hey guys i need some help, i have a 144hz monitor but i use it at 120hz, the problem is when i play games in borderless window the vsync goes down randomly from 120hz to 60 hz and then it goes back to 120 hz, in fullscreen mode there is no problem but i like bordeless because i can use flux. The games i mostly play are rocket league, overwatch and pubg but this last one doesnt not get affected by the problem. Any help will be appreciated

Monitor: Philips 242G 144hz

Cpu: 4770k

Cooler: CM Evo 212

Gpu: MSI GTX 1070

Ram: 16GB DDR3 1866

SSD 256 GB

HDD 2TB

You mean the refresh rate of the monitor?

Why are you running it at 120Hz instead of 144? The 1070 is capable of 144Hz last I checked.

Doesn't vsync "round down"? As in, if your FPS goes below 120 it'll sync to 60 instead?

i said vsync because the game itself limits the fps to 60 even when my hardware is capable of stable 120hz

its just personal, i like to play some relatively old games like skyrim at 60hz, so i use 120hz to use half vsync on them

Have you played around in the NVidia control panel?

i tried to force vsync on nvidia panel but didnt help, at the moment the only solution is fullscreen mode
