Hello, I just bought a Alienware 15 laptop with a 1070 nvidia graphics card with the 120hz screen. Everytime I go into a game it only shows 60hz and my computer shows that it’s running in 120hz display and also shows that in my GeForce application. What can I do to fix this?
 
Solution
Has xbox game bar / gamedvr been disabled?

Make a launch shortcut of one of the games and try in Properties > Compatibility, check disable full screen optimisation

Checked hz in game it shows 1920x1080 with 120 frames... checked the GeForce and slid the bar down on the game more towards the proformance side so it would get more frames, but it is still capping at 60hz :/
