Monitor refres rate from 240hz in the DCS auto increase to max. 360hz whith full screen use LAlt+enter

Hi
Please, give me an advice. I have a new MSI Oculus NXG253R 24" Full HD G-SYNC monitor.
The monitor has a maximum refresh rate of 360hz. I set the refresh rate to 240hz in the Nvidia graphics settings. When I run the toolbar on my monitor it shows 240hz. If I start the simulator I still stay at 240hz.
If I want to use the full screen mode at the beginning of the game with the LAlt + ENTER key, the refresh rate changes to the maximum 360hz.
Why is it like this?
I set the refresh rate to 240hz because this setting offers an output color depth of up to 12bit. The 360hz setting only offers 8bit.

Thanks you

Never had a 360Hz screen, but that difference usually comes from Windows desktop settings versus Nvidia, AMD or whatever graphics card you have, application settings. Check, whether you have made a profile in the toolbar app or not, what's the profile running for apps aside for desktop settings. I can't recall exactly where (and it might depend on your graphics card brand and model) but check the graphics card profile currently running and try to find out an option called "keep desktop settings on running apps", or something on the like. That probably means either editing, or making if you hadn't one already, whatever the graphics card profile which is now running. You know, Nvidia control panel, or AMD control panel or whatever it's called now, or the like. There is usually an option to tell the graphics card to keep your desktop refresh rate setting on running apps, either control panels as said in a general profile, or maybe a dedicated profile for DCS or whatever other games you want to keep like that, sometimes if there's no other option even inside the app there is that option, even though I can't recall DCS having that.

Yes, thank you for the answer. I solved it in the settings of the nvidia graphics card, where it is set to "max. frame rate", or set according to the 3d application. At this moment, the refresh rate is set by the user. Thank you
