unable to run 144 hz on new benq monitor

[bluntedd]

can someone explain to me what i must do in order to run 144hz on my new monitor. nvidia control panel only shows 60hz as an option. i am currently using a display port. (dvi cable did not come with the monitor which i find very strange)

is there a way to use the display port and still get 144hz or do i have to buy a dvi cable?

What model monitor? What video card?

GPU is capable, Display port and Dual Link DVI are both 144 capable. What does it show in Display settings -> display adapter properties -> Monitor under screen refresh rate?

You should be able to run the full refresh rate over dual link DVI or DP. HDMI wouldn't, however. As I'm at work and this machine doesn't have Nvidia for graphics, I can't access the control panel to show or explain what you should do to fix it. However, this same issue has come up recently in another thread. Once I get home, I'll post a link to what you need to look at in order to make it work unless someone else beats me to it.

@snipergod87

@snipergod87 i chosen144hz under monitor screen refresh rate(in display settings) and i think that may of done the trick. now when i go to nvidia it shows 144hz under my new monitor

Sounds like you've sorted it out. Enjoy.
