Question BenQ Zowie XL2430 monitor only shows 60Hz instead of 144Hz

[Maxjek95]

Hello,

After buying a newdesktop, my BenQ Zowie XL2430 monitor only shows the option for 60hz in stead of the 144hz it should show. Before my desktop I used to connect my laptop with the monitor where it did show 144hz. I'm still using the same HDMI 2.1 cable, so that hasn't changed.

Besides, if I connect the desktop to my ASUS ROG XG248Q at home, it does show 240hz with the exact same HDMI cable.

I tried using different HDMI ports, but it still doesn't work. The GPU card that I have is the XFX Speedster SWFT 210 Radeon RX 6600. Within the AMD software I tried creating a custom resolution based on 144hz, but it shows me an error that it's not compatible.

I already have the latest driver on my GPU.

Does anyone have an idea of what else I could try / what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using a display port cable?

No I don't have one. What I find strange is that it worked before and now not anymore with a new pc. Guess I will buy a DP cable and try that then
