[SOLVED] Problem with 120hz on windows. Please help

[mirojasiu]

Hi
I recently got a new monitor, the MSI Optix G24C4.
On hdmi i can get 120hz in ubuntu.
However, i have a problem with getting 120hz on windows, where i can go up to 60hz.
I tried radeon software, creating a new custom resolution, re-installing the drivers, re-installing radeon software, advanced display settings in windows, but none of that worked.
I really want help on how i could get 120hz just like on ubuntu.
Any help will be appreciated.

Ok cool. It has USBc and could be possible to get video from it with a USBc to DP cable. Check manual though but usually USBc offers video using Displayport alt mode. If so, it'll do 144Hz.

Enter connection here, USBc to DP
