[2023] Refresh Rate Keeps Changing Back to 120FPS After Change

If your monitor and nVidia differ on what fps you are getting, I'm not at all surprised the game is having trouble!

Has this situation always been the case since you've had this game?

What about with EU4 and CK2?


DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.

Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/settings.txt and pdx_settings.txt .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Stellaris/logs/ folder, attach here system.log , error.log .  

Nerjin said: EU4 does not let you turn off VSync but I turned it off in the settings.txt and same issue. It does not respect the refresh rate cap

You'd also need to set vsync=off in there, do you do that?

Do make sure you unload GeForce Experience while we work on this, as it often has unexpected effects on our games for some reason.  

I don't know why you are having such trouble on this hardware! Your GeForce 1080 is not that different from my GeForce 1060 for instance, yet I have no such issues with any of our games.

If you make a new Windows user on this machine and log into it with that, do you get the same issues?  

Jeez, I hope that does it for you!
