Freshly installed Garuda, got my steam library all downloaded and some other games but I’ve noticed that my framerate in some games (baldurs gate 3, minecraft, left 4 dead 2) is uncapped, but when I launch a unity title like Risk of Rain 2, my fps is capped at 60fps even though all my settings in game are set to my monitors refresh rate (240) . I’ve dug through the game’s own config file, and everything in there referring to the refresh rate was 240, Which has left me flabbergasted as I know my configuration has ran Risk of Rain 2 at 240 on other distro’s, Am I missing some kind of dependency? Is it an issue with steam?

this it?
Are you mirroring displays? What happens if you just use your DP connected monitor?

Okay so, launched Risk of Rain 2 with only my high refresh rate monitor plugged in and that made the game launch at 240, however plugging my other monitor back in made it revert back to 60. How would I resolve this? and thank you for your assistance. Though for some reason launching other titles with both monitors on doesn’t cause an issue. Strange
Looks to be just a Unity game issue in your case.
I’ve noticed Unity games can be a bit fickle when trying to detect the primary display (or its settings). If the game has additional settings to select screens/settings it usually can be remedied.

Oh well, but for my first experience on this forum it was a good one. Thank you!

Hold up, there’s been a development
I’ve now realized that even my operating systems animations (the wobbly tabs and stuff) are also running at 60fps when I have my second monitor plugged in. Turns out its beyond a unity issue
Perhaps its something to do with x11/wayland? Not sure, this is my first arch based distro
If you are using Wayland, Wayland forces Vsync so if your monitor is set at 60 that could be it.
Found the solution: Multi-monitor lag with different refresh rates
run sudo nvidia-settings and make all your displays the same X screen, and enable force full composition pipeline on all of them. This is the same gui where you can find the g-sync toggle if your monitor is g-sync supported or compatible.
