Do not have alot of time for gaming and this problem took a bit to figure out (valuable Titanfall 2 time!) so I thought I would throw it out there for people smarter than me with more time

Traced the problem back to after I Upgraded Precision X from 6.1.2 to 6.1.6 , after spending hours reinstalling nvidia drivers and using driver clean install tools I noticed I was getting 144hz in game when precision x was not running, uninstalled precision software and got 144hz every time in game, tried 6.1.3 and 6.1.4 and still reverted to 60hz in game. went back to 6.1.2 and I get 144hz all the time with all games I run it with, maybe there is an easier fix out there but google came back with nothing on this issue or these forums so I will run 6.1.2 till there is a newer version from 6.1.6 any input would be appriciated.
