Question Are my monitors at 75hz ?

[LostHeadphones]

Hiya !

I have two HP 27" Freesync monitors (HP 27f) which can go up to 75hz.
I am a bit confused on how it works at 75hz though. My games will say I am gaming at 1920x1080 @ 75hz, but when I open the display settings in either Windows/Radeon it will say the monitors are at 59.9... hz.

Is it that the games will force the monitors to 75hz whereas if I quit the game it'll go back to 60hz or while gaming I'm in fact still at 60hz, but the game thinks its at 75hz ?
What hz am I really at, gaming or not gaming ?

If you are using windows 10 right click on desktop and go to display settings,than scroll down to advanced display settings and click on it,than click on display adapter properties for display one and click monitor tab and in there make sure to set refresh rate to 75hz also do this for your second monitor.
When you are in the game make sure to set 75hz also.
One way to find out if you are running games at 75hz is to turn vsync on and see if it will cap game at 60hz or 75hz.
