[SOLVED] Msi mag271c screen stuttering when switched higher than 60hz

[anicolas]

I just upgraded from a 1030 to a 1650 S to maximize my msi mag271c 144hz monitor. I right clicked and went to display settings to change my 60 hz to 144hz. As I did that, my screen started shaking, made lines, stutter, and sometimes it would abnormally turn off then on. Also tried 100hz and 120hz but sadly it still has the same result. I am using a Display Port but also tried hdmi with no luck. Really need help

Monitor supports 144Hz via both Hdmi or DP. Could be driver related if cable shipped with the monitor isn't working correctly.

If haven't reinstalled drivers yet then try that and run the clean install option.

If that doesn't work, try Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU). Install the program in normal Windows then run it in Windows safe mode to properly clean Nvidia drivers. Reboot afterwards and reinstall driver.

I tried it with a different monitor and it seems to be working just fine with 144hz. Tried reinstalling the drivers but it doesnt work

Another 144Hz monitor working fine tells the story. It's not your comp or cables. Can you replace the troubled monitor?

 

[anicolas]

Nope, do you think I should just return the monitor for a warranty?

 

[boju]

Yes, that is what i meant.

Just make sure the cable is fitting in correctly at the back of the monitor before making this call.

 

[anicolas]

Oh Ok, thx for helping anyways

Hope it works out. Keep us posted.

Bit strange one monitor works fine and another doesn't. Can only blame it as a faulty monitor.
