I was under the impression that vsync should match your card's frame buffer to the refresh rate of your monitor. With an Nvidia card that seems to work. You have a 60Hz monitror, vsync caps you to 60fps, you have a 144Hz monitor, vsync caps you to 144fps (if your card can stay above that). I recently bought an RX480 and it seems that vsync caps you to 60fps no matter what your monitor is set to. Being new to AMD cards, am I doing something wrong?

Have you got the FPS limiter on in the AMD control panel ?
SPS was right. After changing my card I didn't reconfigure my monitor to 144Hz. So now in bioshock2 or TF2 for example, if I turn vsync on it caps it to 144Hz. Odd thing is that in Doom/Vulkan vsync still caps at 60Fps.

If your talking about Frame Rate Target Control then no, it's off atm.

Thing is Doom/OpenGL works as intended. I believe this is a Vulkan thing. If someone has an Nvidia10XX/120+ monitor and Doom and could do some testing?
*EDIT*
Never mind. From the Doom Vulkan FAQ:
"Does DOOM automatically have uncapped framerate when running on Vulkan?
To enable uncapped framerate, Vertical Sync needs to be disabled via the in-game (Video settings) options."
