Question Monitor only showing 60hz

[zaydprovoker]

I have a 12year old view sonic monitor (vs13816 viewsonic)which advertised as 75hz on the official website, but when I use it , it only shows 60hz
My specs are
I5 2500
Gt 710
8gb ddr3
Intel dh61ww mobo
It's plugged by hdmi

HDMI can be limited to 60Hz.
Try other available video inputs on monitor.
It should have D-SUB connector.

Anyway - do not expect to see any significant difference for 75Hz compared to 60Hz.
Also analogue D-Sub signal may introduce shimmering effect on screen.

The HDMI port on the card is 1.3 which means it should be able to do 120Hz at 1080p to which I'm wondering if your driver needs reinstalling, after using DDU in Safe Mode, then using the latest GPU driver sourced from Nvidia's support site in an elevated command.

Have you gone into Nvidia's Control Panel and seen if you can manipulate the refresh rate for your monitor(left hand navigation pane, Display>Resolution)?

Unlikely that it supports 75 Hz at 1080p. Generally 75 Hz is only supported on some older CRT formats like 1024×576 or something like that. This is only included for legacy compatibility.

why is my display not 75Hz

hello, recently i bought a monitor, https://www.viewsonic.com/us/va2256-mhd.html#specs here it says the monitor is 75Hz but in the settings it shows the monitor is 60hz

1080p with standard CTA timing (2200×1125) at 75 Hz already gives horizontal frequency of 1125 × 75 Hz = 84.4 kHz which is outside the range given in the monitor's online datasheet (82 kHz max). So this 75 Hz would only be available at lower resolutions. Of course, you can always try setting custom resolutions to drive it outside its rated range, but there's no guarantees.
