Just an update, I can get 144 hz as I lowered the resolution (thx to that timing change) so I made the compromise to go to 1792 x 1008 at 142 hz which doesnt bother me since I game at 1600 x 900 anyways. Thanks so much Glenwing you seriously are a true life saver!

When I tried that, I was able to get the refresh rate up to 126, but if I try any higher then it hits me with the same message. Man I really appreciate the help though.

Yes, i get hit with the "the custom resolution exceeds the maximum bandwidth capacity" message.

I bought the monitor but the max refresh rate I could get is 120 hz over hdmi (only output I have). Rip. If anyone knows how to get this to 144 I would appreciate it, otherwise imma just deal with it lol. I think my laptop has something to do with it...

From extensive research through multiple resources about monitors that are capable of 144 hz over hdmi (mostly from Glenwing). My GPU only has an hdmi output otherwise I would totally use dp or dvi. I have come to the conclusion that the Viewsonic XG2401 will work however I want to know if their newer version (Viewsonic XG2402 - released last September) is capable of handling 144 hz over hdmi. I haven't been able to find any info supporting this yet, I want to know since it will save me money. TYIA!
