Which settings should I use in the compositor (at the monitor system settings) to get 144hz? I have 2 monitors with 144hz and one with 60hz and there seems to be a problem with my fps, it always only gives me 60fps when I activate V-sync and I think it might be an issue from the compositor or a misconfiguration in my compositor-settings - also is there any software out there or something similar that sets the 60hz-monitor to for example 144hz? I did not find it (searched before for it) but maybe someone can help me out here AND what are the recommended settings for compositor for gaming? I am a older garuda user but I don't understand the compositor-settings description there are in the settings, can someone elaborate please?
