Stuttering and Refresh Rate Locked at 59

[Currystador]

So I just got back into the game recently after not playing for about a year, and I got a new 144hz monitor and a gtx 1060 and i7 950 (Yea I know its old, but it doesn't bottleneck the gpu too much, I can play games like The Witcher 3, PUBG, Ghost Recon Wildlands... all intensive games at atleast 60fps)

So in theory, it can run the game at atleast 120 on everything maxed. Problem is, the game doesn't give me an option to go higher than 59hz on fullscreen, and I don't know how to change this. Also the intro cut scene to the game tutorial is very stuttery, (like 1 frame every 10 seconds) and it's impossible to get passed it.

Edit: Now I got it unlocked to 144hz, but now when I try going on fullscreen it just freezes the game.

Edit 2: So now I just can't get passed this stupid cutscene with vor. Everytime I get on the game, it just freezes but the game still plays behind me.

Edit 3: I overclocked my CPU from 3.0 to 3.8GHz and still same problem is happening.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
