Choosing Vulkan API makes monitor go to 60hz

Hi, as I said in the title, i have a 144hz monitor but when I open the game with the Vulkan API selected it goes back to 60hz no matter what. I have a Shapphire RX580 Nitro+ with the latest drivers as time of writing this post(v20.5.1-may27)and using the "Windowed fullscreen" option, even if I go to screen options in windows and select 144hz when alt-tabbing to game it goes again to 60hz, no matter if i'm running the game or if I open it from Steam, always go back to 60hz. I know Vulkan it's still in beta but I hope you can fix this because with DX11 it works as intended.

Is "vsync" ON in your PoE GFX settings? If yes, then disable it and see if that helps.
Is disabled in game and in the Drivers options, i forgot to mention it xD
Can confirm that it forces refresh rate down to 60Hz
Can confirm too. If u set the refresh rate of the monitor to 60hz or put the game on a monitor with 60hz it works fine.
If u put it on an 144hz monitor u get tearing while moving.

Edit: If i deactivate Gsync it works fine on my 144hz.

As the latest update 3.10.2c this bug is no longer present for me, now I can choose the Vulkan API and play @ 144hz without problems, hope the rest of players can too.

Not sure what you did, but I just patched my game, and refresh rate is forced down to 59hz, from 144hz, no matter what I do.

So, not fixed...

This is really horrible I hope they can fix before league launch.
Nah, my game updated one more time (but there is no official update and the game just updated on steam and it download just 1 megabyte)and now it does the same thing as before, Vulkan keeps putting my monitor at 60hz every time :S
The thing is that the game was running much better @144hz with Vulkan, hope that with the new league patch this will be fixed.
I don't think Vulcan supports GSync and systems like that.....
Vulkan enforces its own VSync which CANNOT be modified. This VSync force-disables (at the very low API levels) GSync & the AMD variant.

yes, this encoder talks DIRECTLY with the motherboard. Intentionally.
