[SOLVED] Samsung odyssey g5 with old GC

[weepthewoop]

Hello everyone,

I got a new monitor (Samsung odyssey g5 27") that's capable of 1440p and 144hz,
How do I get it to run at 1440p @ 144hz with my gtx780?
Right now I'm getting 1440p @ 60hz (59.951 according to windows).
Should I be connecting it through DP? currently running HDMI.

I know the GPU is outdated but I want to use 1440p for movies and 144hz for gaming (I only play CSGO).
Last few questions, can I use FreeSync with nvidia cards? can I enable V-Sync through nvidia control panel and in game? will it cause any trouble instead of helping?
I tried making a custom resolution on nvidia control panel but the screen stays black.

Thanks in advance!

Try connecting it via DisplayPort.
You play csgo, why in the world would you want to use VSync?

Thank you so much I will give it a try,
I never enabled VSync previously as it caused a lot of lag, but thought it might help with the setup.

Should I get a specific cable? like 1.2 or something like that.

Did oyu receive a DP cable with the monitor?
Use that one.
VSync didnt change,it will still cause you input lag.

No, it came with an HDMI cable only, grabbed a display port cable and it all works now, thanks!
