[technicalsharad]

I'm a streamer and i use elgato to capture my gameplay but my phone screen always get stuck on 60hz when i connect my phone through a type c to hdmi connecter to elgato
It says (refresh rate set to 60hz)
But why i want to play games on high refresh rate like 90hz or 120hz
Any solution ??

No, because Elgato has specified the most it can reach is 60hz.

You can play on 90hz on ROG 2, simply switch it in the notification bar or set it in the Amoury Crate.
If you want it to show as 90hz on a screen, then you need a compatible cable/adapter and compatible screen. OnePlus in this conversation is irrelevant.

I know you cannot capture the screen at 90hz unless your card allows you to.
But, the problem is, the screen refresh rate itself is limited to 60hz whenever I connect an HDMI adapter to the mobile. I cannot play games above 60hz refresh rate if an HDMI cable is connected to my phone, which is being limited by the software, rather than the capture card. Why cable should limit the screen refresh rate?
This is what technicalsharad pointed as well.
Please fix this, as it doesn't happen on any other device I own. iPad, oneplus 7 pro and Samsung S20 Ultra doesn't limit refresh rate on phone display while capture card is connected to the device.
I can share more information from those devices if you want.
