Question New Asus XG248Q only getting 120hz option. How do I enable 240hz?

[Chris Martel]

So I decided to get a new monitor (XG248Q) in advance of my new pc I will build in a couple months. It's 240hz capable but I can't figure out how to open up that option. I'm currently stuck on 120hz max. I'm using the display port cable which is going into my gtx 670 (old I know). I have installed the drivers that came with the monitor and tried turning off/on freesync to see if that changed anything. No avail.

Any suggestions? Does my current gpu not allow 240hz? The 120hz is nice since I just upgraded from a 60hz monitor but it's frustrating me I can't get a 240hz option. Thank you in advance of any help.

Kepler cards have a maximum of 540 Mpx/s over DisplayPort, which is not enough for 240 Hz at 1080p. You should be able to get up to around 200 Hz though. Make sure you select from the PC section of the list.

I have figured out a solution for the time being. I created a custom resolution in the nvidia control panel and was able to get to 200hz. I'll have to wait until I upgrade to a newer gpu to get 240hz.

Does the cable come with the Monitor?
I read somewhere that you need a DisplayPort 1.2 at least to get 240Hz but yeah, if your GPU can't handle it there's not much to do 🤣

I made an account on here just to say thank you. Changing to the 1920x1080 PC option solved the issue for me. took me hours to find a fix. Seems rather obvious now, but there we go. Cheers!
