Help! The game only works properly at 60hz on my 100hz monitor using the elgato hd60s.
I have my 3440x1440 monitor set to 2560x1440 for a smoother 16:9 stream instead of black bars. It connects via display port, and I use an Elgato HD60 connected through HDMI. I can adjust some DSR settings to get 1440p on the monitor and 1080p60 on the capture card. My desktop runs at 100Hz, but when I play Fortnite it drops to 60Hz. The game shows 60Hz even though the frame rate is higher, and with VSync it stays at 60Hz. My display and NVIDIA control panel say 100Hz, but in borderless mode the game stays at that rate. When I switch to fullscreen, it still shows 100Hz but the resolution is stuck at 1920x1080. Can I fix both issues?
The most recent time everything functioned properly is still remembered. What actions did you take from then until now? Are other games running at 100hz? If yes, that points to a Fortnite problem. Make sure VSync is disabled. In the worst case, try running DDU in safe mode, clean it up, and restart. Then proceed with normal mode to install the latest WHQL video drivers and let us know about Fortnite and other issues.
I should have mentioned that before cloning my display to the capture card, it functioned in borderless mode at 2560x1440 with 100hz. It performs consistently across all games, not just Fortnite. I plan to perform a fresh installation of the Nvidia drivers and reconfigure everything again.
I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eGSIy0CHrg
Checking the "perform clean installation" option in the nvidia driver installer is similar to using ddu and reinstalling the latest driver.
NOPE! It attempts to eliminate as much as possible but still leaves remnants of old drivers. A clean install resets your nvpanel preferences to the default, removing the driver and installing a new one, though it doesn't fully erase everything. This is where DDU becomes relevant.
I have used ddu and installed the newest drivers. I can't choose a resolution higher than 1920x1080 in the nvidia control panel, but I can select 3440x1440 at 100hz in the display settings. Is there a way to reach 2560x1440? The "create custom resolution option is greyed out for me."
What makes sense is wondering why custom resolution isn't allowed and whether it's even possible.
I attempted all day. The only solution is to adjust DSR to 1.20x or 1.78x in the NVIDIA control panel; then I can choose 2560x1440 in Windows display settings, but not in the NVIDIA control panel. This is when I encounter the problem with my games only running at 60Hz.
