thecardrick :
I've got a benq gl2460 1080p monitor and i get no option to select anything higher than 60hz, any idea how i can solve this?
(i'm using a dvi-d lead incase that changes anything)
That is a 60Hz LCD monitor, not a 120Hz (or higher), therefore you cannot go above 60Hz unless you lower the resolution. Here's a link to the specs. Typically if the features / specs do not specifically state it is a 120Hz monitor, then by default it is a 60Hz monitor.
