Pixio PX277 will not display at 144Hz please help

[zelectrical]

SOLVED: I forgot to change to 144Hz in the Nvidia control panel... LOL

I purchased a pixio PX277 2560x1440p 144Hz monitor.

I have a Nvidia GTX970 graphics card and I have the graphics card hooked up to the PX277 monitor via displayport 1.2

When I open the OSD for the pixio it says:

Window1:
Input Source: DP
Resolution 2560x1440 @ 60Hz

I cannot figure out how to get it to display at 144Hz

In the user manual the image they include for a display port connection in the OSD says:

Window1:
Input Source: DP
Resolution 2560x1440 @ 144Hz

Of course the user manual only has a few words and does not explain how to change from 60Hz to 144Hz, it seems to imply that the monitor should automatically be in 144Hz when you use display port as your connection.

Any ideas on how to get 144Hz out of this thing? 144Hz refresh rate was the entire reason I bought the monitor.

Thanks for your help!

I fixed it. I forgot to go into my Nvida control panel and switch from 60Hz to 144Hz in the Nvidia control panel.


I guess thats what no sleep will do to you...
