[SOLVED] My new monitor G2590FX says it has 144 hz, but when I check windows settings

So I just bought a new monitor (G2590FX) and it says it has 144 hz, but nowhere on my windows does it say 144 hz, it only says 60 hz, so have I been just scammed or...

What cable are you using to connect it to the video card?

 

[anzeinstas]

I switched between hdmi and display port cable, but they both say 60 hz

DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a more common and widespread connector, but keep in mind that not all DVI versions are the same. Only the Dual-Link DVI can do 1920×1080 at 144Hz or 2560×1440 at 75Hz

Stick with the displayport cable, HDMI doesn't support 144Hz.

You'll have to use Displayport and then set it to 144Hz in advanced display settings as it will default to 60Hz.

The monitor doesn't even have a DVI port. You would have known that if you had bothered to look up the specs.
