Stuck at 60hz with 144hz monitors Asus VG248QE

[Nocy123]

Hey! I just bought 3x Asus VG248QE but every monitor is stuck at 60hz. Device Manager shows that its a PnP monitor.

I have change settings in windows and Nivida control panel, I have also tested only 1 monitor each time.
Have reinstall windows, tested different cables but still same problem.
The only drivers I can find is "Asus Multiframe" which does not seem to do so much.
Using DP on all 3 monitors

Windows 10 64-bit
GTX 1080 MSI
32gb ram
Intel Core i5 6600K
Asus Pro Gaming Z170

The VG248QE should support 1920 x 1080 at 144Hz using only DisplayPort *OR* Dual-Link DVI-D (it only supports 60Hz when using HDMI or Single-Link DVI-D) http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/LCD%20Monitors/VG248/VG248_English.pdf?_ga=2.125118349.608326987.1501924614-1428616915.1495995095

Try installing the drivers found in Windows 8 64-bit > Others > ASUS_VG248_Windows_8_WHQL here: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/LCD%20Monitors/ASUS_VG248_Windows_8_WHQL.zip?_ga=2.227240986.608326987.1501924614-1428616915.1495995095

Should also work in Windows 10 (but most users never had to install such but a few have resolved Hz issues such as yours).

If problem still persists, try updating or re-installing Nvidia drivers.

Once installed, check Settings > System > Display > Advanced Display Settings > Display Adapter Properties > Monitor (tab). See if 144 Hertz is now listed in the screen refresh rate drop down menu.

When you go to Nvidia Control Panel and Change Resolution, did you select 1080p, 1920 x 1080 (scroll way down under the "PC" header; not the "Ultra HD, HD, SD" header) and check if refresh rate drop down menu now displays 144Hz?

That should now solve your 60Hz issue. Try running games and check your FPS/gaming experience. If FPS locks at 60fps, try disabling Xbox DVR app in Windows 10 Settings > Game DVR set slider to Off. Check also in Nvidia Control Panel and in your in-game graphics settings if V-Sync is Off (it should be off). You can also check your monitor's on-screen menu in System Setup > Information if fv (vertical frequency) is somewhere around 144Hz.

Monitor shows 144hz (but its probably cus windows is set to 144hz)
testufo.com and vsynctester.com shows 60hz, Also it do not feel like 144hz
