so i have a Vega frontier that i just installed in my main PC. it is giving me the strangest issue. i have a 144hz monitor. initially when i put the card in it seemed to run the monitor at its full refresh rate. but when i installed the driver it made the monitor seem like it was only running at 60hz. after i noticed this i went into display settings to change the refresh rate but i found that it reported that the monitor was running at the full 144hz. next i decided to try and enable free-sync. it enabled no problem but it still looked like the refresh rate was too slow. i decided to downgrade drivers to see if the optional driver was causing the issue but i had the same problem with the latest recommended driver.
after all of this took place i decided to play a game to see how bad it would look, but to my surprise, as soon as i launched a game the monitor started running at the proper refresh rate and everything looked super smooth like it should, and there was zero studder just like there should be.
so what gives? why does the refresh rate work when i play a game but it doesn't work anywhere else?
ive already tried a lot of troubleshooting and i guess my last hope is to get a new bios...
