I'm trying to maintain a consistent 60fps in Watch Dogs Legion while dealing with a monitor that only refreshes at 75fps. To stabilize the game, I'm limiting its output to match the monitor's refresh rate. However, this reduces visual quality, making colors appear washed out. Is there a way to preserve the original color balance without exceeding the monitor's refresh rate?

Your display is probably stuck at 60Hz during full screen play. To improve performance, consider using a borderless window instead of full screen.

Choose between Nvidia or AMD. When using HDMI, verify the Nvidia Control Panel if you're on Full Dynamic Range and not Limited.

I applied this technique, yet my game remains faded after changing it to 60 hertz.

It seems the fix came from adjusting the system settings rather than changing the device's native color profile.

It's typical since the Windows configurations take effect first. Have you adjusted the display to 60Hz in Windows instead of 75? Also, are the colors appearing faded?

It seems the display remains washed out even after adjusting your computer's settings, which points more toward the monitor than a game problem. It’s likely a normal occurrence, though I was curious about maintaining consistent color brightness.

Review your display's OSD options, as it might support various profiles for each resolution setting.

your profile remains unchanged after adjusting the display resolution to 60 in settings.
