To take advantage of your high refresh rate display, you can override the refresh rate limitation imposed by the game to achieve 120 FPS @ 120 Hz (with Vsync) for example. One way this can be done is by changing "Preferred refresh rate" to the "Highest available" setting in the Nvidia Control Panel under "Manage 3D settings".

High frame rate
Regarding high refresh rate displays, the game will force 100 Hz by default and does not accept 120/144 Hz. This means if the player wants Vsync enabled, the FPS will be limited to 100 in this case. Vsync can be disabled to unlock FPS but it's not an ideal solution for everyone because of screen tearing.
To take advantage of your high refresh rate display, you can override the refresh rate limitation imposed by the game to achieve 120 FPS @ 120 Hz (with Vsync) for example. One way this can be done is by changing "Preferred refresh rate" to the "Highest available" setting in the Nvidia Control Panel under "Manage 3D settings". Using a higher minimum refresh rate via Custom Resolution Utility should also work for AMD/ATI GPUs.[3]
AMD/ATI users can also use RadeonPro for forced refresh rate. On some systems game might not load if you turn off Vsync, and Vsync can lock FPS to only 30. With this tool, you can have Vsync on and same time refresh rate and FPS unlocked.
