Question Screen refresh rate - 48hz or 120 hz?

[Omer Shehzaf]

So, I've just gotten an ROG STRIX GL531GT (i7-9750h, 16GB DDR4, GTX 1650, 512GB NVME SSD) - windows 10 version 1909 (OS Build 18363.779)
I was wondering as to why my laptop only allows me to set my screen refresh rate at either 48hz or 120hz?

Some games I'm trying to play (like the Resident evil 4) seems to have problems on both these refresh rates, and works fine on 60hz for some people.
So, just concerned if I could change it to any other number besides 48 or 120?

Cheers.

It's a 120Hz panel.

So I simply cannot set it to 60hz, no matter what?

You can set a custom resolution. Follow the steps in section 6.3 here: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/how-to-connect-to-a-120-hz-display.3268285/

I've tried this earlier today - when I enter 48hz or 120hz as possible refresh rates, it accepts it. But, when I enter any resolution with 60hz as the refresh rate, it says "The custom resolution exceeds maximum bandwidth capacity."

Super bummed about being unable to play Resident Evil 4.
