problem fps cap

Since upgrading my setup from an i5 9th gen with an RTX 2070 to a 14th gen i5 with a 5060, my game is capped at 60 FPS, even though I have a monitor with a refresh rate higher than 60 Hz. I've already tried all the common solutions, such as:

Disabling G-Sync

Turning off V-Sync

Switching to performance mode

Reinstalling the game etc

Unfortunately, none of these have worked so far.
