[SOLVED] emergency help pls, GPU cant display more than 60hz?

[SlowPC333]

Hello,
I got rid of my gpu and got a gtx 750ti from a friend for free.
I connected it to my monitor (Acer 144hz, 1440p, Freesync) via HDMI cable, but it doesnt let me choose a refreshrate higher than 60hz-
Any fix?

is the connectivity via DisplayPort available?
What i mean is does your gtx 750ti have a DisplayPort slot,if it does connect it to the monitor via DisplayPort.

nope, it only has HDMI and 2 other ports, maybe they're called DVI or something

i dont think u can achieve more than 60Hz on that monitor with HDMI,i think u have to use displayport.Check the prices of HDMI to DisplayPort adapters.Thats your only bet,except ofcouse buying a modern gpu with DisplayPort.
Edit: DVI is 'weaker' than HDMI so no chance using that.
The hierarchy of video cables are:
VGA (the blue one with screws)>DVI-I or DVI-D (ussually white ones with screws)>HDMI>DisplayPort.
VGA being the 'worst',DVI can display better resolutions and clearer pictures.HDMI is the base standard for today and it can carry audio signal also and DisplayPort ofcourse being the best

What brand/model was your old card and the new one?

my previous gpu was rx 5700xt nitro+ and my current one is a gtx 750ti (oem)

Something to check...I don't recall where it is...but I think there might be something in NVidia Control Panel that can be set to limit fps to 60. I'd at least poke around in there.

I think i know what the problem is.
RX 5700XT u had probably had HDMI 2.0,which can support 144Hz at 1440p,the gtx 750Ti,being a much older card,cant support it since 144hz at 1440p wasnt available then.Your best chance is to buy a hdmi to displayport adapter and pray it can display 144hz 1440p.

Using that card with HDMI 1.4 @ 1440p you only get 60.

May I ask why you got rid of your 5700xt for a 750ti?

probably 5700XT died

Only way you'll get 120+ Hz is if you drop resolution to 720p.

Traded in the raceing motorcycle for a 10 speed bike and wonder why you come in dead last.....
