Acer XG270HU connections

[Jeff_Huff]

HI,
I have a new acer monitor and am connected to GTX 260 in SLI. I will soon be upgrading my system but I stayed with a new monitor first so this is only a temporary problem.

I am connected via DVId and I can only get 60 Hz. I see in other threads that it should be possible to get 144 Hz over DVID.

Is that possible? Is there some seeing to enable it?

I am running Windows 10 with a generic monitor driver. I tried to switch to the Acer driver but it wouldn't load.

Any thoughts?

Try downloading Display Driver Uninstaller to uninstall the Nvidia drivers and reinstall the latest drivers once again.

So it should support 144 Hz as long as I have the Acer monitor driver and latest nvidia drivers?

I will try your suggestion and see if it works, thanks!

The display driver uninstaller worked great. I also updated my monitor driver but Windows 10, in int's infinite wisdom only overwrote the driver on reboot. I had to disable driver signing before it even let me install the official Acer driver. Any idea on how I can stop Windozzz from overwriting the driver?

You can try disabling the Windows update.

 

[Jeff_Huff]

I tried that but it just gets over written by windows. I think your directions will work of I get by this last step.

Thanks for the help!

If memory serves theres an option in ddu to have it disable automatic driver updates.

DDU only disabled GPU driver updates. Unless I am missing something I don't think it can disable other driver updates.
