[2020] Frames capped at 72 on 144hz monitor

Hey, Mokiii.!

Welcome to the forums. Sorry to hear that you are having FPS issues. Can I ask you to try the following:

Run the game with ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS.

Verify your game files.
It is possible that the installation of your game is faulty. To fix this, please verify your game files:

UPLAY
EPIC GAMES LAUNCHER
STEAM

Disable Background Applications.

Make sure your OPERATING SYSTEM is UP TO DATE.

Reinstall Uplay.

Update your GPU Drivers:

AMD
NVIDIA

Should the issues persist after completing the above steps, please GET IN TOUCH, attaching DXDIAG and MSINFO reports to your SUPPORT CASE.

Thank you.

Hi there BigPoohC,

As well as what you have already tried have you recently updated your graphics driver to the latest update? Vulkan relies on GPUs having the latest updates installed, in order to run smoothly and effectively.

AMD and Nvidia usually release monthly updates now for the most modern GPUs.

Vulkan can actually cap your frame rates, much like a Vsync option would, as it purpose it to better optimise the game, providing smoother graphical performance and a steady frame rate, instead of a varying frame rate that might jump up and down and be inconsistent in the game.
