[2021] [Performance]Vulkan mode capped at 60Hz?

Hello Spitfire.gg, thank you for your post. Usually the Vulkan mode should increase the performance of the game and FPS range whereas the DirectX version is better for graphical fidelity.

Have you tried lowering some of your graphical settings in Vulkan mode to see if you are able to achieve an FPS gain? Can you also check that both versions of the game are fully updated?

I would also recommend following the steps in this article to see if you can increase you FPS performance in game -

As well as this, if you happen to be using a series 10 Nvidia GPU or later, enabling Nvidia Reflex in the Vulkan mode of the game may benefit your latency in game.
To enable Nvidia Reflex, download and install the latest Geforce Nvidia driver, make sure your Vulkan version of Siege is fully updated, navigate to the games 'display options' and apply the reflex option.

Hello again, apologies for the delay.

The information above was to explain our expectation or Vulkan and how it should have an impact on your system. It should still be possible to go above 60 FPS, as long as there is no FPS lock enabled.

Do you recall ever enabling an frame rate lock for the Vulkan version, in Nvidia Control Panel for example?

Do you have V-Sync enabled in-game? If so, try disabling it.

Thank you!
