144fps cap on GTX 560 TI

I bought a GTX 560 ti for real cheap and I tested it out and its all good and dandy but when I play light games like CS:GO, TF2, LOL etc, the fps doesn't go higher than 144fps. READ: no fps cap, tried all at lowest settings - no higher fps, no v-sync, latest drivers. I tried the same tests with Intel HD graphics and achieved the higher 144fps cap but on much lower settings. Not sure if this is the problem with my graphics card specifically or that when this was released it was like a cap or something.

Yes I know MOAR is better... but do you really see a difference between for example 120 fps and 144 fps? 

 

If you now say "Yes of course, hit my eyes like a ton of bricks!" then I think you need to see a shrink... I don't talk about the only difference seen is the FPS counter :P

 

The 560 is quite aged... I still use one in my media server in the living room connected to a full hd TV... 

 

 

Main System:

Anghammarad : Asrock Taichi x570, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @4900 MHz. 32 GB DDR4 3600, some NVME SSDs, Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070TI

 

System 2 "Igluna" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

System 3 "Inskah" AsRock Fatal1ty Z77 Pro, Core I5 3570k @4300, 16 GB Ram DDR3 2133, some SSD, and a 2 TB HDD each, Gainward Phantom 760GTX.

 

On the Road: Acer Aspire 5 Model A515-51G-54FD, Intel Core i5 7200U, 8 GB DDR4 Ram, 120 GB SSD, 1 TB SSD, Intel CPU GFX and Nvidia MX 150, Full HD IPS display

 

Media System "Vio": Aorus Elite AX V2, Ryzen 7 5700X, 64 GB Ram DDR4 3200 Mushkin, 1 275 GB Crucial MX SSD, 1 tb Crucial MX500 SSD. IBM 5015 Megaraid, 4 Seagate Ironwolf 4TB HDD in raid 5, 4 WD RED 4 tb in another Raid 5, Gainward Phoenix GTX 1060

 

(Abit Fatal1ty FP9 IN SLI, C2Duo E8400, 6 GB Ram DDR2 800, far too less diskspace, Gainward Phantom 560 GTX broken need fixing)

 

Nostalgia: Amiga 1200, Tower Build, CPU/FPU/MMU 68EC020, 68030, 68882 @50 Mhz, 10 MByte ram (2 MB Chip, 8 MB Fast), Fast SCSI II, 2 CDRoms, 2 1 GB SCSI II IBM Harddrives, 512 MB Quantum Lightning HDD, self soldered Sync changer to attach VGA displays, WLAN

For me it's not really what i can see but mainly benchmark purposes to see how far i can stretch the graphics card

Sounds like a Cable/standar issue.

 

DVI hardlimits itself to 144hz on 1440p. (as an example).
