[SOLVED] No option for 1920x1080 @ 120hz in display settings

[DireRaven]

I'm using a BenQ XL2420T as my monitor. It supposedly runs 1920x1080 @ 120hz, but when I used a displayport to HDMI cable to connect, it doesn't let me do 1920x1080 @120hz. When I go into NVIDIA Control Panel and choose change resolution, under the PC option, the highest option available with 120hz is 1440x900. This gives me black bars, and doesn't fit the whole screen. When I create a custom resolution, it also doesn't work. Anyone know what they can do to help?

Specs: Ryzen 7 1700x , GTX 1650 Super, 8GB RAM

On that monitor a dual link DVI-D cable is needed for 120hz. This is an old Monitor.

ah alright, thank you!

Wait. The manual says otherwise. I will leave someone who knows about monitors to answer this one to you.

The XL2420T is limited to 60 Hz over HDMI. You need to use the DVI or DisplayPort input on the monitor.
