Fullscreen mode defaults to 60 Hz, even if the screen refresh rate is set higher than that.
Set screen refresh rate[4]
  1. Install Special K by following the Unofficial Special K Guide. Manual local installation may work better.
  2. Start the game once and close it to allow the configuration file of Special K to be created.
  3. Open <path-to-game>\dxgi.ini or %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Mods\SpecialK\Profiles\nex_machina.exe\SpecialK.ini depending on the installation method you used.
  4. Change RefreshRate=-1 to RefreshRate=0 under [Render.FrameRate].
Use Borderless Fullscreen
  1. Fullscreen mode caps to 60Hz. Setting to Borderless Fullscreen actually requires a restart of the game and will typically set only to windowed mode.
  2. Quit game for it to apply properly
  3. Reopen and game should now run at native refresh rate. If it starts back in windowed mode set to Borderless again and it should now work
