Which monitor? Which connection are you using? (HDMI, DP, DVI etc) And what GPU do you have?

 

[taylorharvey1]

im using an AOC E2460S on a D-Sub connection and im using a gtx 960

 

[Barty1884]

The D-Sub/VGA connection is the problem there, there's just not enough bandwidth to support 1080p 60Hz+.

You have both HDMI and DVI on both the GPU and monitor, which should both be capable of 60+Hz.
I think DVI tops out at 120Hz ?
HDMI 1.4 (on the 900 series cards) should be able to achieve 144Hz.

I'd just run an HDMI cable.

i have found a hdmi cable plugged it in and powered everything on and i have more options in the drop down box but none of them are above 60Hz only lower , have i done something wrong ?

Where are you looking? Inside Windows? Or nVidia control panel? You may have to reinstall your GPU drivers/application before it'll detect.

on the windows display editor how do i reinstall them

 

[Barty1884]

Open the nVidia control panel and see what options are available under "change resolution" or whatever the heading is called.

Try that first, before reinstalling.
To reinstall, I'd recommend removing fully with DDU in safe mode

Once removed, head to nVidia's site and download/run the .exe for the driver(s). If using Windows 10 x64, then here:
