why is my display not 75Hz

Go to solution Solved by Glenwing,

"Vertical Refresh Frequency" is a technical spec about the physical capabilities of the monitor, it should not be interpreted as a "this is the refresh frequency of the monitor" spec.

 

It is a 1080p 60 Hz monitor. Like almost all displays, it supports 75 Hz at low resolutions for compatibility with legacy CRT standard formats, but it does not support 75 Hz at full resolution. This is standard practice on almost all monitors. Refer to the manual:

Can we have more information on how you're connecting your card to the monitor?

If you're doing HDMI then you probably can't get 75Hz out of your monitor that way.

EDIT: It seems like you should be able to get 75Hz out of the HDMI port on the montior? That's... odd.

the monitor is probably limiting HDMI throughput. its not uncommon that you would need to use DP

click Display adapter properties for Display 1, click "Monitor" tab in resulting window, under monitor settings it should have screen refresh rate with a drop down menu, see if it has 75 Hertz in there

hello,

 

recently i bought a monitor,

 

https://www.viewsonic.com/us/va2256-mhd.html#specs

 

here it says the monitor is 75Hz but in the settings it shows the monitor is 60hz

 

 

 

1. Check monitors own hw cintrolled osd menus for either a refresh rate setting or possibly freesync

2. If it has freesync (dont think it does this case though) Go into nvidia control panel (rmb on desktop); enable gsync if it allows

 

Before these two steps windows would not show option for 75hz with my setup (different monitor but might be something simmilar in this case)

 

Alsocheck nvidia control panel > display > change resolution and see what the hz options listed there; if you can select it there, windows might follow
