Solution Barty1884 Jul 5, 2018 Which monitor do you have, specifically? While a 1080 has HDMI 2.0, chances are good the Acer monitor has HDMI 1.4 and does not support 120+Hz over HDMI. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-3675170/connect-120-display-construction.html?_ga=2.6735026.1420936986.1530629099-183779354.1518709239 DisplayPort would be a better option
