Title is long but it describes a big portion of my issue..
I recently purchased a 240hz ASUS ROG Strix XG258Q and in the NVIDIA settings as well as in the OS settings I only get the option of 144hz..
I am connected with a DisplayPort cable that came with the monitor and I have a i7 4770k CPU (if necessary info?) and I'm using a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (with 3gb or ram)

I found the specs of my GPU says it supports 240hz and 1920p and I cannot set the hz to 240.. anyone have any ideas how to solve this issue?
I tried creating a custom resolution through Nvidia and when I put in 240hz (and leave everything else on automatic/default) when I click ‘test’ the screen goes black for a few seconds then a message displays telling me it was successful but when I click “save profile and apply” the screen goes black for a second again and then there is no profile of 240hz.. The same thing happens for 239hz and anything above 240hz.. but when I do it for 238hz it saves a profile and I am able to use 238hz..
And yes I know 238 to 240hz isn’t that big of a deal but I read that it’s better to have a multiple of 30/60 for better film viewing experience.. despite this.. I also would just like to have 240hz .. since I paid for it.. but mostly just because it kinda bothers me that it’s not a default value.. idk call it OCD if you must.. haha
As an additional note .. I’ve tried the CRU (Custom Resolution Utility) and made a 240hz profile and when I restart and select that profile my screen goes black for 30 seconds and then comes back (I’m assuming this means it didn’t work and the 15 second timer or whatever to ‘accept’ settings counted down and went back to the previous setting.
(Also updated windows, installed the monitor driver from the website, and erased all other, old, monitors off the list of monitors in the CRU program.)
CPU: intel i7 4770k
GPU: EVGA NVIDIA GTX 760
OS: Windows 7 Pro x64
Monitor: 240hz ASUS ROG Strix XG258Q
Thank you for your help in advance,
