Forced 60fps cap even when "Disable Frame Limit" is enabled

I just decided to try Bazzite for the first time after getting fed up with Windows, but I noticed that at least in Game Mode I can't run anything past 60fps, and I'm not sure why. How do I fix this? VRR is enabled and frame limit is disabled.

Solution

That didn't work, but i might have figured it out. The "automatic resolution" setting was assuming 60hz. I manually set it to 3960x2160p120hz. Looks to be doing better now.

Can you provide more details about your system?

Are you sure you increased your refresh rate in the OS?

It has a 9070 and a 14400F 16GB DDR5, 1TB SSD. Yes, I actually checked after I posted this, but it was set correct. I do have multiple displays though (one in my living room and one at my desk). Maybe that has something to do with it? I was playing it at my desk when I noticed it but I haven't checked its settings on my living room TV.

I wonder if this is a limitation of the -deck build? I was not aware that selecting "Home Theater" just gives me the same build as the Steam Deck. I will try using SteamDeck=0 and see if that does anything, though I wonder if there's a way to apply that command system-wide. Also still haven't messed with the settings when connected to my living room TV, but I just got home so I'll do that now.

Settings on the living room TV are fine. I'll try SteamDeck=0 now
