Question 144Hz wont show up

[Tech_head]

Hello, I recently baught a Dell - S2719DGF 27 inch monitor and the 144Hz option wont show up.
ive tried different guides and no luck.

Heres my systems specs(already checked if they are compatable with the monitor/144hz option, they are but just in case here ya go.)
CPU
AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Six-Core Processor (Not overclocked)
Memory:
8gb gskill ripjawsV (not sure on the speed / upgrading tomarrow to more faster ram)
GPU:
AMD Radeon (TM) R9 380 Series (2GB)

Driver version: 25.20.15002.58
Driver date: 12/05/2018
DirectX version: 12 (FL 12.0)

I rolled back the driver version because rocket league was lagging BAD. Turns out its not the driver so I will be updating driver back to latest.
Also im using the HDMI cable that came with the monitor and im using the HDMI2.0 port behind the monitor
Ill probably buy a DP cable soon to see if that does anything. any recomendations on DP cables?

The display port is made for 144hz. Try reducing the refresh rate to 120hz and see if the hdmi signal will go through until you get a display port cable.

I dont get any options for 144hz and 120hz. it just says 60hz and nothing else when i right click and go to display settings. I will probably go to wallmart today and see if they have a DP cable.

Yes, on the OSD it gives me the option to turn freesync on and off. Currently have it off. Will be getting DP cable soon to see if anything changes

when you click on display adapter properties, and your click on modes it only shows you 60hz?

Yes, problem solved now. Got a DP cable v1.4 and 144Hz came up as an option. Thanks for the reply
