Question ASUS PG279Q - Can't go beyond 60hz and no G-sync

[AsusRog27]

Hello!

I am new to this, so please have some patience. I recently got a ASUS pg279q monitor, but when I plug it in I can't go beyond 60hz and there is no G-sync option in the Nvidia control panel. It's strange since I have a 2080 super and it should be able to do G-sync. What I am doing wrong?

What cable are you using?

On the monitor itself you may need to go intot eh on screen menu and enable G Sync.

I have plugged in HDMI cable, the DP cable and the USB cable. I can't see any G-sync option the OSD (toggling through the screen)

Unplug the HDMI and make sure it's connected only by DP.

The problem is that when I remove the HDMI cable and only use the DP and when I try to go into the NVIDIA control panel, it says something like: "NVIDIA Display settings are not available. You are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU".

That means that you're not in the DP mode, which is necessary to use G-Sync. Have you gone into the monitor's menu, gone into input select, and chosen DP?
