Can a VM be set to higher than 60hz for its monitor refresh rate?

[behealed]

I have windows 10 installed on the VM. When I right click the desktop -> Display Settings -> Advanced display settings -> Display adapter properties for Display 1 -> Monitor -> Screen Refresh Rate -> it only gives me the option for 60hz. My host has a GeForce RTX 2060 and is set to 144hz with a 144hz physical monitor. The VM has accelerated graphics enabled in the settings, and I can get "250+ frames per second" running games on the VM (depending on the game), but because the VM's "virtual monitor adapter" is set to only 60hz, I can only actually see 60 frames per second.

Hi,

I don't think you can change this.

For the why, please see Michael Roy's answer here: Re: Fusion and Computer Hardware

Just replace "Fusion" with "Workstation" while you are reading.

In short:

VMware does not give you direct access to the graphics adapter and as such you do not get access to all of the features of your physical graphics card.
