Hi @Flowsi,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd be happy to help you! 

To address the issue of your FPS being capped at 60 FPS on your Victus By HP 16.1 Inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-S0000 (76T53AV) even though it should be limited to 144 FPS, you can try the following steps:

Check Game Settings:

• Ensure that the game settings are not limiting the FPS to 60. Look for an FPS cap setting within the game's settings and set it to 144 or to "Unlimited" if available.

Update Graphics Drivers:

• Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. Visit the NVIDIA or AMD website (depending on your graphics card) to download and install the latest drivers.

Check Windows Settings:

• Right-click on the desktop and select "Display settings."
• Scroll down and click on "Advanced display settings."
• Under "Refresh rate," make sure it is set to 144Hz.

Disable V-Sync:

• In your graphics card settings (NVIDIA Control Panel or AMD Radeon Settings), disable V-Sync.
• In the game settings, also disable V-Sync if it is enabled.

Power Settings:

• Open the Windows Control Panel and go to "Power Options."
• Select the "High performance" power plan.

Check for Background Applications:

• Close any unnecessary background applications that may be consuming system resources.

Check for Overheating:

• Monitor the temperature of your laptop using software like HWMonitor to ensure it is not overheating, which can lead to performance throttling.

BIOS Update:

• Check if there is a BIOS update available for your laptop on the HP support website and install it if necessary. Click here

If the issue persists after trying these steps, there may be a hardware issue with your laptop, and you may need to contact HP phone support for repair or service. 

Keep me posted for further assistance.
