Turning off the Game DVR and Game Bar resolved the low frame rate issue in fullscreen mode.
Turning off the Game DVR and Game Bar resolved the low frame rate issue in fullscreen mode.
I noticed games began running smoothly at 60 FPS even though my monitor is 165 Hz and the NVIDIA control center settings seem normal. It was a sudden change from before when this wasn’t an issue. Perhaps a Windows update caused it, but I’m not sure what triggered it. After some research and adjusting settings, I found that turning off Game DVR and Game Bar in Windows settings resolved the problem. I won’t share exact steps since there’s a lot of guidance available, but feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.
I had previously turned it off, but I’m not sure why it was reactivated.
