[SOLVED] I am stuck at 60Hz and dont know why.

[StompTheKids]

I got a monitor (acer GN246HL) and a rx 5700 xt gpu. Since the screen hdmi port is exposed at 60 Hz with hdmi, I decided to buy a dvi-d (M) hdmi (F) adapter. This will not set Hz at 60. Next thing I can do is get a fast enough hdmi cable to gpu and plug it into the adapter. I thought this would solve the problem, but I can't find 144Hz alternatively in the display settings. Does anyone know the problem?

The Acer GN246HL has a native refresh rate of 144 Hz but can only reach this refresh rate when connected with a DL-DVI connection. When connected with HDMI the maximum detected resolution is 60 Hz, but through custom resolutions this can be boosted to 76 Hz.

Acer GN246HL har en oppdatert oppdateringsfrekvens på 144 Hz, men kan bare nå denne oppdateringsfrekvensen når den er koblet til en DL-DVI-tilkobling. Når den er koblet til HDMI, er den maksimale detekterte oppløsningen 60 Hz, men gjennom tilpassede oppløsninger kan dette økes til 76 Hz.

So the hdmi cable can be really good, but it still only performs in 60Hz, Since my gpu dont have any dvi ports i need to get a monitor with dvi ports.
