[SOLVED] Unable to run max Refresh Rate with converter ?

[Gameclasher1922]

I'm using my View sonic XG 2402 144hz as my main monitor which is plugged in with a HDMI 1.4 cable direct to GPU as my DP port on the monitor doesn't work anymore.

I recently bought a Samsung 24" T35F 75 Hz and it has a HDMI port so I have converted it to DP and plugged it to my GPU DP because my GPU (TUF 1660S) has only 1 DP port and 1 HDMI port.

Setup 1:

VIEW SONIC 144hz --> HDMI CABLE (1.4) --> Plugged to HDMI port = Runs on 144hz
SAMSUNG 75hz --> HDMI CABLE (1.4)--> Converted to DP --> Plugged to DP port = Runs on 60hz max

With this above setup I'm able to get 144hz on the View Sonic and only max 60hz on the Samsung.

Setup 2:

VIEW SONIC 144hz --> HDMI CABLE (1.4) --> Converted to DP --> Plugged to DP port = Runs on 60hz Max
SAMSUNG 75hz --> HDMI CABLE (1.4) --> --> Plugged to HDMI port = Runs on 75hz


Does this mean I cannot run on max refresh rate with the HDMI to DP converter?

it means your diplayport adapter is limited to 60Hz

Please read the pinned thread to get the proper adapters that are capable of what you need. Not all adapters are capable of 144 Hz at 1080p.
