    Yes, that is completely normal. In this case the game is restrained by the CPU, which is not used for graphics rendering. By reducing the resolution you are reducing the load on the GPU, but because the CPU can only create 120fps your GPU will only render what the CPU provides, which is 120fps. In this case the GPU is bottlenecked by the CPU. If the display is 60Hz you don't need fps higher than 60, as the display can only show 60fps.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
