[SOLVED] AOC G2460PF monitor on NVIDIA 1030 not going to 144hz

[Naik0n]

Hello guys , i just bought myself a new monitor ( AOC G2460PF 144hz freesync ) and the problem is that its not going to 144hz , the most i can get is 120hz . Is it because i have a bad GPU ( Nvidia 1030 2gb ) ? Or is something that im doing wrong ? I tried with different cables such as DVI or HDMI , DVI is not going higher than 60hz , and HDMI is going to 120hz . Anyone knows anything about it ? thanks

The GTX 1030 only supports single-link DVI, which maxes at 60 Hz at 1080p. The G2460PF only supports up to 120 Hz over HDMI, so that is operating as expected. You need to use DisplayPort for 144 Hz. If you don't have DP then you will have to settle for 120 Hz via HDMI.
