Apex Legends stuck at 60 FPS (G-Sync 144hz monitor)
With +fps_max unlimited it still caps with the following behavior:
- On "Triple Buffered" FPS Locks caps at 60 & g-sync works
- On "Adaptive" FPS moves freely between 60-89 but monitor caps refreshes 60 (my monitor says it's hardware refresh rate with hardware buttons & I see tearing)
- On "Disabled" FPS is 240 and monitor caps at 60 and there's crazy tearing

Apparently Dynamic Super Resolutions conflict with the driver reporting max refresh rate to the game, even if they are not in use. They MUST be disabled.
Right click Desktop > nVidia Control Panel > Mange 3D Settings > DSR - Factors > Set to Off
Apex Legends > Settings > Video > VSync > Double Buffered
Other things I happen to also change before it worked, that I presume were unrelated: repairing the game. Removing & re-apply the Origin In Game FPS counter. Settings the game resolution to 1600x900
