Question Refresh rate 30hz on new monitor

[GreyFox37]

I got a 32" Samsung UJ59 series after buying an MSI RTX 3090 for my i7 9th gen (I realized I only had a 2k monitor). I know the max refresh is 60hz. I was only getting 30hz when running MW2 remastered and even Cyberpunk and noticed at the top resolution, it was just lagging like crazy. I dropped it one under and got 60-90fps, not bad, but I realized that my HDMI cable was only a 1.4. I got a 2.0 recently and its still only showing an option of 30hz. Could it be that the port I'm using on that model is wrong for 2.0 or is there something else I'm missing? Thanks.

That monitor has 3 display inputs, 1 Displayport, 1. HDMI 2.0 and 1 HDMI 1.4. According to the manual the HDMI 2.0 port is HDMI in 2 on the monitor, make sure that is the port you are using as HDMI in 1 is 1.4 and limited to 4k@30Hz.

That did the trick, thank you so much!
