Hey guys. So I just bought this HDMI to DisplayPort cable for one of my Samsung CFG73 monitors to get it working on 1080p at 144Hz. Problem is no matter how I connect it, the nVidia Control Panel still says it's running at 1080p 120Hz. Now, I'm certain that my card has HDMI 2.0b slots on it, and my monitor says it is currently functioning at 144Hz via the settings. But I know my display is actually at 120Hz since it caps at 120 FPS with vsync on (using Crackdown 3 as reference...and other games). Is there something I'm missing? I know for a fact my other displays with DP is for sure at 144Hz, but I'm running a cable going HDMI from my video card, to DisplayPort on my monitor. How can it not achieve 144Hz since DP and HDMI 2.0b both support 144Hz?
Is it the cable maybe? This is what I bought: HDMI to DisplayPort. I know it says 60Hz, but it's actively on 120Hz 1080p as I type this.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: Also, kind of want FreeSync on top of all that.
