[SOLVED] 75hz Monitor limited to 60hz Refresh Rate

[Skydaz]

Monitor : 75hz Viewsonic VX2771-smhv-2 27inch Full HD IPS , no freesync support
Specs :
Ryzen 5 2600
Zotac Gtx 1070 ti
16gb dual channel xpg 3000mhz ram
b450m steel legend
Win 10 pro latest

Connection via hdmi cable, since my monitor only support hdmi or VGA.

So, my monitor is capable of 75hz refresh rate, but when i do refresh rate online test, it shows 60hz only.

Already go to display setting and max refresh rate to select s only 60hz. Nvidia control panel also max the refresh rate to 60hz only.
Resolution i use is 1920 X 1080. Already try to lower res , still no luck. 60hz only.
Does the 75hz only occur while gaming?
Is it because of faulty HDMI cable?
I have no idea. PLS help me thank you

Many monitors do not support higher than 60hz over hdmi.

The higher frequencies may only be over VGA. I run my KDS vs-195i at 160hz 1280x544 from vga.

So it can do 75hz, just not at the advertised resolution (And as mentioned above, probably only over VGA)

Your GPU certainly should have no issues, and most HDMI cables should be capable of 1080p 75hz.

I got an adapter that goes from DisplayPort to VGA in order to run it.

I read this article: https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2113-hdmi-interface-questions-addressed-1080p-120hz.

Have you tried creating a custom monitor profile?

 

[TheNightTerror]

Try putting that as your settings and it might work. I hope so!

is that the purpose of the display port?

Not entirely, using Gsync or Freesync would be a reason to use DP but not because of Hz. Back when Hdmi was predominately limited to 60Hz, DP or DVI were the go to connections. For a while now, manufacturer support for higher Hz over Hdmi has been increasing. Hdmi v1.3/1.4 is capable of 1080p 144Hz and v2 even higher.
